But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
that I may declare all thy works.

This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

quiet poems
pink clouds
over Lake Michigan
as I listen to old hymns
my heart gathers peace
for this day
how small the song
of an unknown bird
quiet memories
paintings of trees
on old pine walls
quiet music

more poems than I could
ever write
in loving memory
my parents and brother
we shall meet again

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
early morning
cup from a thrift store
on my grandmother’s
straw chest
near the window
fills with light
Creative Author Note: Jill Briscoe
This morning, I am reading Faith Dancing: Conversations in good company, by Jill Briscoe (2009, Monarch Books; Oxford, UK and Grand Rapids, Michigan).
I bought a used copy from Amazon. The book is beautiful. Today I am rereading a few of Jill’s poems. Karl and I have heard Jill and Stuart Briscoe preach at Elmbrook Church in Wisconsin.
So many ways to share books!
