Thy statutes
have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54 (KJV)

Each month, I try to review some of the past posts and years in my archives. Today I am looking at July 2010, as that is when I began Poems From Psalms And Nature. When the time arrives to create a new book or two from my blogs, I think the review work will already be complete. I update my archives here and there too.
Be still, and know
that I am God
Psalm 46: 10a (KJV)
each flower
a star for a time
daylilies
patterns on my floor
moving with the breeze
sun from the West
highlights
branches of leaves

evergreen trees
with their branches
in May winds
through another
winter and green
and growing
resilient
some broken branches
interesting shapes
shelter for birds
the years show
and they are
beautiful as
they bless
