January Remembrance

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.

Advent sun

quiet songs
my eyes rest upon
a small plant
and the new
Advent sun

From December 2020

Short Advent Poems

Christmas CDs
playing with the volume low
in the fields
the beauty of harvested
corn in snow

Northern sun
shines on frozen beach
still the days grow shorter
shadow of poinsettia
on the wall

lighting the
Christmas candle
tiny flame
transforms
the night

Christmas night sky
becomes sunrise
tree branches
covered with ice
glisten in the sun

snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time

Quiet Christmas Poetry

“lighting the Christmas candle” was also published by Hermitage (2005) and The Writers’ Bistro (2007).
