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
more colors of blue
in Lake Michigan today
than I can name
the wonder of always learning
dreaming new dreams

fog, green leaves
and beach grasses

with red carnations

July 2014
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

tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
