grey sky with light
words from long ago
The LORD is my shepherd . . .

“the voice of thanksgiving”

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

family tablecloths
passed on to me
they look like
the art I select
for my blogs

predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day

new time to learn

October 12, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

new time to learn
though many years here
grateful to grow older
blessings for all generations
we all grow together

seasons in the gardens

October 7, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

seasons in the gardens
older now and perhaps
not as many flowers
but rather the perennials
that grow bloom
always return

clouds and sky

September 15, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

clouds and sky
spruce tree branches still
reading poems
that offer hope
and rest

my heart sees

September 3, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

my heart sees
what is no longer here
buildings and changes
over time

my heart sees
people I knew
and gardens that grew
in different places

I write from my heart
and my heart sees
in new ways again

August afternoon

August 26, 2025 Ellen Grace Olinger

August afternoon
time I know well
gardens, months,
seasons, years
