summer to fall
willow branches
in sun and shadow

plants and flowers grow
in summer gardens
sounds of work outside
daylilies bloom soon
books and journals
to read again
green leaves
in sun and a little wind
new poems
time in the kitchen
on an early July morning
an open summer window
and bird songs
bird on a branch
with summer leaves
pages of poetry
I am reading from Time Of Singing poetry journal.
My poems in this post are from Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.

Holy week
lily flowers
wait to bloom
sometimes by sight
in my life of faith
apple trees in bloom
Time of Singing, Spring 2014


small steps
one day at a time
sparrows in the yard


I look at my shelves, and what has been there for a time; and I have not read this book or that journal. Then I wonder why – what was happening then? And I remember, and maybe had read a poem or two, or a page or two, and was helped and blessed.
late Fall
and Winter soon
plans for silence
and time to read
poetry
