reading a new book
the fragrance
of fresh paper

reading journals
new generation of poets
since I began

of summers gone by

another summer
art on the wall
by someone
long ago still
speaks to me

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Psalm 26: 7

sunrise
in early May
tiny bird sings
on the branch
of budding lilacs

sunshine
along the roads
marsh marigolds

another summer
art on the wall
by someone
long ago still
speaks to me

Psalms to pray
and poems to read
sun on seawalls
