I remembered this poem today.
window partly
covered with snow
brings to mind
words ancient and true
For now we see
through a glass darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part;
but then shall I know
even as also
I am known.
1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)

Charlotte Digregorio published this poem for the Daily Haiku: November 8, 2018. It was her good idea to create a senryu from one of my tanka.
I will share both poems in this post, so you can read both versions. The poems go well with the new year soon, and the themes of my blog.

These are two examples of Pages, which are filed under MENU in the upper right hand corner of this blog.

Poem by Ellen Grace Olinger
Thou tellest my wanderings:
put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in the book?
Psalm 56: 8 (KJV)
tears that were not
cried at the time
kindness that carried
me along to words
and poems that may
sometimes be tears too

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7 (KJV)
