Walk into the temple, be humble, have respect,
\nAlmost like stepping into the gates of heaven,<\/p>\n
Statues of miniature Buddhas lining the walls,
\nCreating an ethereal feeling as if your soul is being lifted.<\/p>\n
If you stare at all the small statues for too long,
\nIt\u2019s as if the mind has been tricked with an optical illusion,
\nIt seems as if they are all moving, calling to you like a higher power.<\/p>\n
The music in the background enhances this celestial sensation,
\nTaking over your other senses along with your nose as you smell the burning incense,
\nThere\u2019s no need for the awareness of touch,
\nFor you have been caressed by something impalpable.<\/p>\n
Exiting the temple is like a bridge between worlds,
\nFor that other worldly feeling has disappeared,
\nAnd you are no longer a victim of the illusion of such peace,
\nHowever, the memory of such a feeling is stuck within to give you peace during troubling times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
