As I pray a Psalm, on this sunny morning, I think “February patience.” I’ll try a poem.
praying a Psalm
in my small study
trees and sky
the verses bring
beauty and hope
to Winter days
and all days

My haiku was published here on May 16, 2012. Reprinted in the book, The Helping Hand Haiku Anthology (Including Senryu, Tanka, and Haiga). Edited by Robert Epstein (2020, Middle Island Press). Karl and I also reprinted the poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry (2014).
Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 27: 14
On a drift of air
that circles the globe
from heart to heart,
continent to continent –
words of a carol
