The Psalms and Hope – Journal Notes Blog

how still

how still
the winter landscape
I whisper the Psalms

praying the Psalms
old rose bush leans
against evergreens

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

From Psalm 2: 12 (KJV)

rereading Psalms
colors of leaves
a deeper gold

SMILE – No. 71, 2013

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)

birds sing
outside the window
as we join with many
who pray the Psalms
this Mystery

Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,
unto thee do we give thanks:
for that thy name is near
thy wondrous works declare.

Psalm 75: 1
