birds perch
in sheltering branches
a grain of mustard seed

Time of Singing poetry journal, 1995
This was one of my first haiku to be published in a print journal.

new poem
just a beginning
light in my study
trees and sky
through the seasons

time with old friends
poems in a journal
from years ago


Thy statutes
have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54

grateful for flowers
all year – gardens
and stores – photos


older vision
grateful for my chair
by a sunny window

C old and time to
O pen books, new and old
L oved and saved – for a
D ecember day
COLD

grey sky with light
words from long ago
The LORD is my shepherd . . .
Psalm 23

That I may publish
with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7
