Gifted Reminder
Five rounded rocks stacked neatly
In sparse random parking lot
A Zen struck so completely
In this unusual spot
Who with great care took the time
Kneeling in this busy place
To erect this token shrine
Bringing balance to this space
Reminded each time I look
A life that is much kinder
Grateful for the time they took
Gifted daily reminder
I love seeing those little rock formations – they seemed to be all over the place when we visited my son in Hawaii. Good job putting into words what those formations represent.
Yeah, there is one just outside my office that looks so out of place in a corporate parking lot. But I see it every day and I am glad it is there.
they do give you pause, and a chance for a moment of reflection.
