that offer hope
and rest

Two Poems
today the sun shines
today the sun shines
after much rain
and I think about
art on the walls
and arrangements
how shapes and colors
work together
and also spaces
with nothing more
like a new journal
or blog post
a page of paper
what may yet
be created?

Time of Singing poetry journal
Time of Singing poetry journal, edited by Lora Zill, has a new site. This print journal was one of the first to publish my poems, and I am grateful. Today I am reading the Winter 2020/21 issue (Volume 47, Number 3).
Here is an early poem.
birds perch
in sheltering branches
a grain of mustard seed
Matthew 13: 31–32 inspired my poem.
Published by Time of Singing (1995).
