late afternoon
sky colors and no wind
quiet day
sunset as I write
sky changes
to night

CLEAR AIR AND BLUE SKY
clear air and blue sky
work sounds in the neighborhood
shapes of light on painted walls,
books, wood walls
the art, music, poetry
of everyday life
RAIN AND WIND
rain and wind
flower petals
on the wood porch
PETALS ON WOOD
The daylilies in the vase
Are ending
Petals drop on wood
I leave them
They express something poignant
That words never could.

STRONG WINTER WINDS
strong winter winds
old wood in the house
ceilings, floors, walls
startling me in the early hours
speaking to me this day
resilience
strength
the way
Hope holds
THESE WOOD WALLS
these wood walls
shelter and add
so much beauty
to this cold day
and all days
others have lived
here too these
past decades
today I wonder
about the other
stories . . .
when the
trees were young
and grew tall
long before
I was born
and then became
this house and
they still seem
alive to me

Creative Note
Yesterday, we reached Psalm 100, at Poems From Psalms And Nature. I began reading ahead, to plan the next posts.
Sunday afternoon
I know the time
by the light
sunrise stillness
sunrise stillness
branches and clouds
light
Yesterday:
late afternoon
sunlight on the
April calendar
one step one day
at a time
