sometimes when I pray
before a meal, I remember
my grandmother’s prayers
in Swedish, and her voice


book shelves
with cards on display
a handmade gift
and a few old dishes
decades of life so far


praying the Psalms
and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
about everyday life

P romises of
S erenity
A nd
L ove
M editations and
S trength
PSALMS
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7

reading journals
new generation of poets
since I began
new plants grow
in our garden
tulip leaves
sunrise . . .
some water
for the chrysanthemum
