To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose
under the heaven . . .
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 (KJV)
SEASON is one of the poems from Quiet Christmas Poetry, which is both a site and a large print chapbook.

Deep calleth unto deep … *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV)
dragonfly rests
for a moment
on the tree branch
long enough for me
to see each wing
wildflowers grow
by fields of corn
words of poetry
uplift my soul
keep me strong
Queen Anne’s Lace
along the roads
missing my mother
she somehow
seems near
strength for the iris
while waiting to bloom
daylily
early hours
of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know

as I create a post
and prepare to publish
I see the themes
of my life so far
art, beauty, creativity, encouragement, faith, flowers, gratitude, grief, health, hope, love, nature, poetry, seasons. . .

Today we reached Psalm 126 at Poems From Psalms And Nature.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Psalm 126: 5
I am also reviewing free samples in my archives from The Dover Design Sampler, Dover Publications.

trees have grown
and summer is here
the view where I read
is more green than sky
perennial gardens
grow well with rain
and sun and time
as if always this way
a summer day

calendar
on my study wall
June days going by
all we could not know
when we bought the calendar
and how life would change
yet gardens grow
birds sing
and soon it will
be summer here
