morning
kitchen, prayer
and poetry
the light
is different now
evergreens
this year’s growth
in morning light


late August light
shines in the room
in a quiet way
small green leaves
in a little wind
reading poems
I have read before
Ellen Grace Olinger, 2021

many poets
to read with gratitude
books in my library


God be merciful unto us, and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67: 1 – 2


wildflowers and
mailboxes along roads
messages of hope
old poem


blue sky and clouds
new growth on the spruce tree
by the windows




reading poetry
many different forms
seasons turn again
always familiar
always new

everyday beauty
to care for and see
flowers and trees
