Temple
March 8, 2018
They say the body is a temple, home for your spirit.
These temples all equal, meaning your's no better than mine.
If this is so, why does my temple earn the wicked look from thy eyes. Is it the scars on the roof of my temple that caused you to look?
These scars you shame show the strength of my temple, these scars show that despite each hailstorm of pain strong my temple did remain.
But to my surprise it was not the roof nor base of my temple which feed it much strength. But it was the spirit, and the drive that lied deep within.
