I Miss The Temple

I miss the temple

Sitting on the hill.

The smell of incense.

The sound of bells.

The garden at the back.

I miss looking

Out across the valley

Watching the land

Roll in waves

To meet the clouds.

I miss my friends

At the temple,

Sitting on the hill,

Where I find Buddha

Everywhere I look.
