Sunday rest
Winter Poems
snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time
snow in the fields
and resting on branches
winter in Wisconsin
the faith of birds
trusting in seed
under snow
snow on the branch
where birds visit
in spring
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)
“snowflakes” is from Quiet Christmas Poetry.
“the faith of birds” was published first in SMILE, a large print journal that was edited/published by Joyce M. Johnson.

of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know
