old pine trees

March 2, 2022 ·

old pine trees
gave their lives long ago
so we could have shelter

quiet
beauty

yet the wood seems to live
radiates warmth and comfort

these are my thoughts
as Lent begins
and I quiet my soul

Poem from 2012

staying with the light
I read in different
corners of the house

late-day sun
on the gravestones
we shall meet again

I came across this poem in my archives. My parents had January birthdays, in 1915 and 1917.

reading Psalms
more beauty and
comfort every year

The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:

therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.

Psalm 28: 7

Christmas carnations
in the vase that used to hold
fresh flowers for Mom
blessings each in turn
return to bless us

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91: 1
