two poems: restful to read and seasons in the gardens

October 7, 2026 Ellen Grace Olinger

restful to read
poetry books read before
autumn morning

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

two morning poems

August 29, 2026 Ellen Grace Olinger

morning
kitchen, prayer
and poetry
the light
is different now

evergreens
this year’s growth
in morning light

Poem: Seasons

August 28, 2026 Ellen Grace Olinger

seasons
and years
calendar by
my computer

yet also when
birds return and
leave again
and birds who stay

the plants and flowers
that picture the time
leaves and colors
the light

and when
the days are short
holiday lights

then the light
in January
and all is new

Ellen Grace Olinger, 2025

late August light

August 24, 2026 Ellen Grace Olinger

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

Psalm 67

July 19, 2026 Ellen Grace Olinger

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
