sudden cold —
Christmas cactus
already blooming

holiness
and humility
Christmas
cold country night
two deer in the front yard
graze in starlight
lighting the
Christmas candle
tiny flame
transforms
the night

The Writers’ Bistro (2007)
third year since
Jesus called Mom home
Christmas bouquet
of baby’s breath
and evergreens
Time Of Singing
Winter 2006/2007
snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time
He giveth snow
like wool:
he scattereth the hoarfrost
like ashes.
Psalm 147: 16 (KJV)
new year
on the horizon
simple lines
of barns and trees
in the fog
placing the new calendar
on the wall
all the new spaces
without words
God’s time
