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....
