White

by Kara Hutchison

The temple stands,

stately and serene,

on holy land. I watch,

thrilled by the sight

and breathing a prayer,

as paths of light reach from the spire

to jeweled night sky

far up above.

I love

to see the temple at night

and feel the warmth

reflected from within;

now I know the color

of white.
