clouds and sky
spruce tree branches still
reading poems
that offer hope
and rest

Creative Note: Large Print Poems
Large Print Poems is a site that we began in August 2020. I reprint poems that seem to last over the years, and also new poems in large print.

small branch growing
from the old tree trunk
light in my study
light in my study
and the yard
changes through
the days and seasons
reading and rereading
poetry journals and books
I understand a little more
how many mornings
how many mornings
have I read and looked
at birch trees in sun
and blue sky?
and yet today
is the most beautiful
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5: 4 (KJV)
morning light
morning light
forms part of a cross
on the wood wall
my faith completes
the picture
reading from books
reading from books
with well-earned wisdom
light on evergreens
I have mentioned Madeleine L’Engle and Luci Shaw. They wrote a book together called Friends for the Journey: Two extraordinary women celebrate friendships made and sustained through the seasons of life (copyright 1997 by the two authors; Servant Publications, Ann Arbor, Michigan). I saw on Amazon that there is a 2003 paperback version from Regent College Publishing, and I ordered a used copy. I love seeing the growth and history of a favorite book.
