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.

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

Poems by Ellen Grace Olinger
grey water and sky
grey water and sky
a month that began
with fireworks
ends with stillness
and birdsong
July 2013
Lighthearted Haiku
prayers before dawn
a few fireflies
by the window
green ferns
in morning light
bird songs
bright sun
and yellow flowers
Summer
mid-July
wildflowers grow
for butterflies
recollections
of summers gone by
voices on the breeze
hosta and daylilies
hosta and daylilies
goldenrod grows too
I sit in silence
and think about
what needs
to be done now
and what can wait
until Autumn and Winter
Years ago, an older friend said, “You learn to save some things for Winter.”
Silent Sunday
new growth
new growth
on blue spruce trees
