Holy Temple, Holy Water
Don Hynes
Holy Temple, Holy Water
“Grandpa, how do they make holy water?”
I am a creature of the forest
though I walk on two legs
and have lost my knowledge of survival.
I love the deep green and the roaring river;
the trees know my secret name
and remember the rhythm of my footsteps.
I am complete as I travel
the undulating surface of her beautiful body,
touching the moss covered bark
of each great column with a blessing
as they hold the canopy of the holy temple
flowing with the true holy water.
