To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose
under the heaven . . .
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 (KJV)
SEASON is one of the poems from Quiet Christmas Poetry, which is both a site and a large print chapbook. Please see the post there, Quiet Christmas Poetry: 2020 Update, if you would like more information.

REST
Matthew 11: 28 (KJV): “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
I am reprinting the acrostic poem and Bible verse from March 21, 2010. Grateful and interesting to see older posts that are still viewed. The 2010 post includes a lily photo by Karl. I rediscovered acrostic poems with blogs.
a painting
every morning
tree branches
with new growth
and sky
with all the ways
life can change
still they bloom
every year
daylilies and hosta
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning . . .
From Psalm 143: 8
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

…to give unto them
beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness…
from Isaiah 61: 3 (KJV)
This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118: 24 (KJV)
Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew 6: 11 (KJV)
Old poem:
clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations
how many mornings
have I read and looked
at birch trees in sun
and blue sky?
and yet today
is the most beautiful
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5: 4 (KJV)
