Three Poems From The Archives
tree branches
bowed to the ground
seemingly half-broken
covered with new leaves
my notebook of prayers

answers to prayers
I did not know to pray
verses of Psalms
April 2017
as if they could
store the sun
small blankets
on a chair
add color to
the scene
as they await
to warm
another time

Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 5: 9 (KJV)
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
From Psalm 2: 12 (KJV)
I begin again
with Psalm One
a snowflake falls
then another
each a work of art
And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season:
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3 (KJV)
treetops
with gold leaves
whispering
in mild winds
“Unto thee,
O LORD,
do I lift up
my soul.”
Psalm 25: 1
But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,
that the excellency
of the power
may be of God,
and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4: 7 (KJV)
But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
that I may declare all thy works.
Psalm 73: 28
