almost autumn
today I have
an appointment
with the light and books
in my small study

wind and trees and light

covered with snow
Thy statutes have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54 (KJV)
evergreen light
Sometimes I think of a few words to describe what I see. Today I look at the yard from my study window, and “evergreen light” is what I see. Some wind in the branches and blue sky. Then I may try a few poems.
December sunrise
evergreens in wind
and light
December garden

Christmas Songs
Many artists record Christmas music. I have grown a small collection over time: Amy Grant, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris, and others. I listen to a few songs here and there.
light shines
through one window
and falls on the wood
frame of another
the light is shared
leaves fall
leaves fall
by my study window
reach the earth
leaves fall
by my study window
reach gardens
where primroses,
hosta, and lilies grow
small study
small study
sun reaches the painting
adds another layer

My poem was published in the new Time Of Singing, Fall 2021.
