older now
used books settle
in their new home

clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations

music and rest
sun fills the daffodils
by the window

patterns on my floor
moving with the breeze
sun from the West
highlights
branches of leaves

Time of Singing, Spring 2011

tree with full leaves
providing shade
comfort of faith

Time of Singing, Summer 2012

different shapes
of the rose bush
and lilacs in the yard
they grew towards
the light

tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God

reading a new book
the fragrance
of fresh paper
