praying the Psalms
old rose bush leans
against evergreens
turning the vase
of flowers
learning
there are
more roses
Published by Bell’s Letters Poet, some time ago.
only now beginning
late-blooming rose
on the bush planted
long before
we came here
reading poetry
and watching
a vase of flowers
change
how beautiful
the fading
pink roses

old roses
now in bloom
a few petals fall
from the blue vase
caught by a poem

quiet life
the only life
I can live
want to live
wild roses
and windmills
on country roads

roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older
