The temple

Dressed as freely as I came
Adorned with nothing, the mirror reflecting beauty and strength
I take a moment to gaze
A sacred temple is what I'm described as
A little bit of honey, chocolate, milk, scars and lightning
Treating me otherwise is pure ignorance
So with trembling knees and bowed head, you will worship in spirit and truth...
