• Like an ethereal presence
  You hang out everywhere.
  Not a naughty or scary goblin,
  Rather, an inquisitive observer,
  A concerned, caring custodian,
  Visiting every niche and closet
  Where we stuff the undesired
  Of our messy, blemished lives,
  You haunt territories we ignore,
  Hoping we will find you there.

  Joyce Rupp
