Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* The first line of my poem is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV).
birds perch
in sheltering branches
a grain of mustard seed
(Matthew 13: 31 – 32)
sudden cold –
Christmas cactus
already blooming
“birds perch” was published by Time Of Singing, December 1995.

Karl and I reprinted this poem in Quiet Christmas Poetry.
For new readers, and all readers, last year we posted short selections from the 150 Psalms, with pictures. The Psalms Series 2020: A Summary offers more information.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23: 1-3
