roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older

pink clouds
span the horizon
seagulls take flight
stretching to read
new books

predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write

Thy statutes have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.

Psalm 119: 54 (KJV)

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