old books
print small and
sometimes faded
words live in my heart
primroses
and daffodils
bloom near the door
old poems to read
again
This week I went to our Oostburg Public Library “Modern resources, personalized services.”
I have shared my acrostic before, from July 18, 2012. I wrote, Thanks to all who work in libraries and do so much to serve our communities.

B eautiful hours of

The Psalms have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
This is a haiku from July 24, 2012, and other posts over the years.
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* The first line of my poem is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV).
Blue sky and trees are the view from my study this morning. I read a few Psalms and listen for sounds of spring in the neighborhood. And then write a poem.
early morning
time to sit and watch
the light begin
cook breakfast
and wash the dishes
pray a few Psalms
along with many
near and far and
unseen by me
we pray together
