March begins spring soon

Ellen Grace Olinger
March begins spring soon

winter garden
and birds who stay
cardinal on the cedar fence

so many ways
to say thank you
snowdrops

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

older vision
grateful for my chair
by a sunny window

January day
red carnations from a store
by windows with snow

Christmas Eve morning
memories and prayers
hope for the new year
so much can grow
from small hopes
Christmas Day

winter winds
I wonder how many storms
the spruce tree has known
clouds and sky
spruce tree branches
as still as a painting

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


many roads
I no longer travel
more poems in the garden
than I could ever write
