The Temple

My mind wrestled with thought
about my internal state
this spiritual drought
that seemed like fate

My brain whirred with questions
Questions I never dared ask
I wondered the unthinkable
and put God to task

I would wander the lake
and drift into its waves
I was rootless with no stake
there was nothing left to save

I voiced out my cries,
to the sky above
while the rain poured down
and i rejected his love

It was always so serene
that beautiful lakeshore
devoid of the trappings
of cultural mores

I worshipped at the altar
of a temple I had built
on a beautiful lakeshore
bereft of guilt

No need to hide my feelings 
from the others everyday
this church only had one member
Lets hope that member stays.
