new library books
and wandering home
on all the roads
fields, spring air, sky
first red-winged blackbird
My post earlier today, Silence and Music, recalled another day and poem.
“new library books” is from March 2012.

gardens in winter
the serene snowfall
and remembering
where snowdrops
will bloom
a new sunrise
by God’s grace
many second chances
in this long lovely
life of faith

grey Sunday
with icicles
by my study window
sounds of Lake Michigan
will this winter cause
some frozen silence
along the beach?
years vary and I remember
the first sounds of rain in spring
early in our time here
after a long winter
colors stay through the year
in many ways
paintings from thrift stores
and dishes with bright colors
work well together
though none of them match

tree farm
young trees grow
alongside the old
*
sun reaches trees
also old pine wood
in the house

This poem is from May 13, 2013:
nothing could be
more beautiful
than the trees
and their new leaves
beginning
except for when
they are in full
summer green
and then turn
their autumn colors
and then are their
wise winter selves
waiting for spring
again
