Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?
Daily Prompt
We live in Wisconsin, the Midwest, USA. I am grateful to be home now, my favorite place. We live by Lake Michigan in a small town. I love to watch the light through the days and seasons, and our perennial gardens.
country roads
signs of change
in the landscape
and sky
yard overgrown
with plants
for bees
and butterflies
so much can wait
one step at a time
so much gets done

And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again
As the sun spills
Over flowers
And the neighborhood
Sleeps
Endurance is eloquent
And marigolds are
Admirable because
They bloom
So long
Oh, my heart
Is tender
Yet God keeps it
Strong
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again

I don’t see the dust . . .
then seeing I remember
and know He does not forget
and understands with Love
For he knoweth our frame;
he remembereth we are dust.

and reading poetry
books and journals
I write new poems
