books and music
from over the years
live on these shelves
even if I don’t
reread or listen again
somehow their
healing influence
is in these words
I enjoyed donating some boxes of books and poetry journals this year, and plan a Christmas donation with a few music CDs.
after rain sun
in the garden
where green plants
still grow and today
begins anew
My new poem, after rain sun, is from Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin yesterday. You may also be interested to read and view Poems: Rain and Seasons from the same site. One example:
rain
on new seawall
built with limestone
from a Wisconsin
quarry

stars sky quiet
morning hours
years of memories
in my heart soul mind
and grateful for today
afternoon sun
fills the lamp
on a file cabinet
my study
where I have
read and prayed
through many years
I may read
from a book read
during a difficult time
and now years
have gone by
and I read again
with gratitude
and hope for today
and tomorrow
