vintage heart
in an old wood frame
February begins
Monday
Monday
and planning
the week
what will grow
what should rest

early morning
light on an old painting
in a new place

New Year Blessings

Christmas Hope

good to create
good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different

poems we read
poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern still new
