Please describe a spiritual setting inside a temple with an altar, sconces, a journal and a candle.

Amidst the decay, a broken panel guards this small prayer niche like a drunken sentinel. Even so, there is a hush here reminiscent of a holy place. Two iron sconces hold dusty candles that have long ago burned down, leaving beaded streams of milky wax to sink to the floor in lacy strands. Further back in this peaceful nook sits a tumbledown altar, covered in similarly exhausted candles, and there at its feet, between two candle stubs rests a worn, leather-bound journal.
