of flowers
learning
there are
more roses

These are poems from my archives.

Easter sunrise
two lily flowers
by the window –
family in Heaven
and thoughts
of those on Earth

light reaches branches
on old tall trees
Easter sunrise

Easter lily blooms
in cold Wisconsin Spring
furnace runs
and through the rooms
fragrance of flowers

morning clouds
and here and there
enough light for the lily

Spring grows
afternoon shadows
on a green lawn
