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
