We went to Walmart in Sheboygan today. I admired the juniper growing well in the parklng lot. Karl reminded me of the name.

everyday beauty
everyday beauty
cedar tree in sun
near the garage
and a dove on the branch
by my study window
grey morning
grey morning
I take my time
and read the poetry
of the garage light
and Winter
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
grateful prayers
for calm weather
and the sun,
power for the house
and breakfast,
this day
today the sun shines
today the sun shines
after much rain
and I think about
art on the walls
and arrangements
how shapes and colors
work together
and also spaces
with nothing more
like a new journal
or blog post
a page of paper
what may yet
be created?
quiet poems
pink clouds
over Lake Michigan
as I listen to old hymns
my heart gathers peace
for this day
how small the song
of an unknown bird
quiet memories
paintings of trees
on old pine walls
quiet music
