Black robe,
Sometimes
Dancing with the wind
On a flowerbed
On top of a hill,
Dancing with nature.
Sometimes a solemn drape
Hiding a window,
Concealing the light.
This cloak of faith,
This blanket,
This bright,
Valiant armor,
Covering man,
Protecting him
From the world.
A flag, a beacon,
A dancer
Loose and free,
This ever-changing shape,
Symbol of humility,
A calling to arms, to prayer.
Pure black, bright black,
Flapping dancing wildly
In the wind,
Draped around a pillar
Of humility, love,
And light.

A splendid, unsentimental treatment of the complexities of the life of a priest.
Too often "Religious Poetry" is both bad poetry AND bad religion. You have done well...
