"Your body is a temple"
is what that book read.
But, that is not the thought
that drowns my head.
For these temple walls have
harbored such anger and abhor,
but temples have crumbled
and been rebuilt before.
This body I return
to YOU cradling sin,
so that with one prayer
YOUR work can begin.
Now when grief and despair
come to weigh down these walls,
it is YOU who will meet them
as they dwell in THY halls.
