early morning

early morning
silence on a Saturday
in October

cooked brown rice
with kale to last
a few days

time to organize
some mail and
poetry journals
what to read when
one page at a time

Saturday morning
silence and sky

clouds and light
gratitude and peace

notes from friends

old and new flowers
grow and bloom together
in the gardens

Yesterday afternoon, I heard this poem again (from July 2012).

recollections
of summers gone by
voices on the breeze

some days
there is a sense
of Spring in Winter

sun reaches
tall trees in the yard
and the wind
seems joyful

reflection of the lamp
in the window
and evergreens
covered with snow

peaceful blessings
of routine work
and time to read
my reward for a time

poetry journals
and books
by my chair
and on shelves

mandevilla plant
lives in the sunroom now
surely one of the stars
in the yard this year

And so happy we were able to walk by The Sheboygan River at Kiwanis Park again this year (Sheboygan, Wisconsin).

routine care
and happy to wait my turn
I watch the world go by
and my heart
fills with love

I am trying some photos with carnations and small old vases.
