seasons speak
their own language
cold days here
and yet the light
tree branches
in wind and February
next week . . .
reading poetry
and more light
falls on journals
across the room
to read and reread
seasons speak

Bloganuary prompt for January 17, 2022
What is a superpower you’d love to have?
birds perch
in sheltering branches
a grain of mustard seed
Matthew 13: 31 – 32
how small the song
of an unknown bird
quiet memories
morning prayer
water birds flying north
stay close to water
breakfast and music
when a song begins
I know the words
Amazing Grace
far from perfect
and in need of grace
we found our way
to unconditional love
“birds perch” was published in Time Of Singing (1995).
“morning prayer” was published in Take-out Window: Haiku Society of America 2014 Members’ Anthology, edited by Gary Hotham. My haiku was first published in SMILE, 67, 2010.

and later becomes Winter

everyday work
and projects that
