A gifted purse

Gathering her payment, her change,
from a treasured gifted purse
gilded, beautiful, a keepsake,
in texture, in gold and blues.
 
A manifestation of the
Madonna and child,
Eastern Orthodox iconography
a talisman, a memory,
of that singular moment in time.
 
God come from heaven,
born to Mary, this Jesus,
fully God, fully man, precious,
held in the arms of Mary, His mother,
the nativity, His whole life…
