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

years go by and gift of a new Spring

years go by . . .
grateful for the
gift of a new Spring

years go by
leaves fall
time of rest
then rebirth
God’s time
not mine

PROSE POEM

Forsythia leaves are falling now too. The way the light falls on the perennial gardens and paths is beautiful. Daffodils, primroses, ferns, daylilies, and wildflowers will return. Orange pumpkins add bright color to the scene. As wonderful as the flowers were, are, and shall be – this restful beauty is so welcome. I enjoy October colors, and then November as well.
