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

ordering
a Christmas wreath
for my parents’ graves
even though I know
they are not there

ferns rest
after another good year
will grow again

new place
on a shelf for a plant
October sun


predawn
and watching
the sky grow light
gift of another day
to read and write


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

Post from September 3, 2025



there are poems
in the clouds and
sunrise
and light seen
on the garage
from the kitchen
and one yellow leaf
on the birch tree
there are always poems

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
