February light
on the trees
easy to imagine
their new growth
in spring

winter views
grace of three tulips
from the store
in the blue vase
by the window

old photos
on my desk –
bleeding hearts in bloom
“old photos” was published first in Time of Singing poetry journal (1994).


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

all the ways
light flows through
days, seasons, years
gratitude and love
in my heart


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
