peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
still with me

Poems and Flowers
I wonder how many poems
the trees have given to me
as I pray the Psalms
and read poems by poets
written over so much time
that passes too soon
clouds with some blue
outside my study window
some days God seems so clear
other days I must dwell more deeply
in my reading of the Psalms
praying the Psalms . . .
other times and places
cross my mind
and I am blessed
by God’s love
and care
once again
Thy statutes have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54 (KJV)

Poems old and new, and recent photos by Karl:
after the storm
bird on a branch
of the broken tree
rain and
near my window
first daylilies bloom
driving across
a new bridge
on an old road

The ash tree stump is a beautiful place now for a begonia. Hosta plants surround the stump. A wonderful image of healing and renewal.
Hosta will flower soon.

I enjoy the vintage art. This Spring, I decided to postpone work on another book. I am writing my journal poems – as the days and seasons are given. My blogs are a creative home for me now. Thank you.
