At This Temple

~ natasha devalia

museum of the soul,

portal to heaven,

vastness of blue,

an oeuvre d’art,

grey lines shaded in,

contours of sharks, 

ships,

orange luminescence

changes the painting,

flying bats enliven—

a new perspective;

a sliver, a twinkle,

at this temple

all are welcome.
