Silent Sunday – Tulip

“he shall hear my voice”

Evening,
and morning,
and at noon,
will I pray,
and cry aloud:

and he shall hear my voice.

Psalm 55: 17

Winter Solstice 2021

Winter begins
today is the shortest
day of light

Oostburg, Wisconsin
Midwest, USA
Northern Hemisphere

And tomorrow
I will begin to watch
the days grow longer

Write new poems
about the light

Sunday morning
music and books
I know by heart
yet always more
to learn

sometimes it seems
the older I grow
the more simple
my poems become

and yet they are
supported by years
all the ways life
challenges and grows

and I am grateful
for every day
and look forward
by God’s grace
