“That I may publish”
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Psalm 26: 7
old pine trees
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
Winter
spruce tree by the window
on a February afternoon
pine cones and clouds
Lake Michigan and ice
along the seawall

Poem from yesterday
February Patience
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
Spring will return: large print
Spring will return
here and there
and then I’ll say,
“When did this happen?”
Today, though,
I rest in longer light
on evergreens
in a tiny bit of wind
