Building Shrines of Hope
Some enact outstanding feats
of altruism in the world,
some pray, administer and comfort;
both create shrines of hope.
Yet there are others tasked to
reveal waymarks on invisible pathways,
cairns and inuksuk, signs upon the trackless;
word-symbols,
akin to rocks and pebbles.
Poets who scribble, often by chance,
point a way, and when they do
God builds a small shrine
for them also.
