lilac and sky path for new dreams
From my archives: May 2012

I looked out the window at the blue sky and then around my little study room, with the blue file cabinets and chair. And I thought of my poems with blue themes. Here are three poems.
bluebirds
truly so blue
trustworthy friends
more colors of blue
in Lake Michigan today
than I can name
the wonder of always learning
dreaming new dreams
hard years show
I let them show
growing anew
We enjoy our blue vase, which goes well with many colors.

how gentle the wind
in predawn rose light
after the harvest moon
I begin October
with small and growing hopes

sometimes
so many years
flow through my mind
today rain refreshes
and the air is autumn
