Flowers on the alter
Satin for your skin
Water sprinkled from above
Flowers in your hair
Satin for your skin
Wafer from above
Flowers in your hands
Satin for your skin
Vows for above
Flowers on your bedside
Satin for your skin
Prayers to above
Flowers at your feet
Satin for your skin
Dirt sprinkled from above
Everyday Strange 
Wow,life, religion, cycle…
