verbal snapshot

a healthy sized desk in front of sunny windows
with a view of the children’s garden rimmed with prayer flags,
computer, books, more books,
mementoes tucked amongst them,
photographs of loved ones plastered on one wall,
a vase of wilting yellow roses,
faded petals fallen to the the floor,
pretty things tucked here and there
capturing one’s eyes
whispering prayers

this is the workspace of a loving
and well loved
saint
