I prepared my temple
Scented it with jasmine flowers
I did not make it a hermitage
Because I needed the congregant
I cleared all the bushes
And cleaned all the windows,
I pruned all the hedges
And covered the pulpit to be unveiled
I hid it from many eyes
Though many noses sniffed
And gave it a chase,
I waited patiently for the chosen
