The Master

The temple is empty,
bar the statues
and the worshippers;

Funny how no-one sees the light shining
from the begger outside the temple.
Even in our ignorance
we are touched by the divine.
Our prayers never go unheard,
nor unanswered.

If you happen to pass by the temple
in the quiet of late night,
you may just notice
the majesty of the beggar.
