SHRINES

You spot them, sometimes

when you least expect them….

Walking through the woods

or going by someone’s yard….

A neckless with a tiny picture

of one’s husband along with

his big solid metal wedding ring….

A statue to Saint Lucy - on a book shelf,

with a pair of glasses and a small candle....

A gravestone - with a plastic flower,

a baseball hat and two bowling shoes….

A wallet with pictures of all one’s

grand kids - along with one’s parents….
A Kyoto garden, raked sand, flowing
water, three big well chiseled rocks....

A church, front bench, right side, in front

of a picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help....
