Years and Seasons
years go by
leaves fall
time of rest
then rebirth
God’s time
Midwest seasons
decades of life
each familiar
and yet always
new
POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Poem Inspired by Psalm 103
writing and reading
I don’t see the dust
then seeing
I remember
and know He does not forget
and understands
with Love
Psalm 103: 14 (KJV)
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth we are dust.

Photos, Memories, New Poems
photos of sunflowers
the field on the way home
from my mother’s home
years and years ago
gave me strength
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Psalm 18: 1
My poem is from a new sequence at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin:
August days go by.
Another idea is a haiku or two – perhaps writing prompts for a poetry lesson. With a general beginning, writers can add their own images and reflections. I was viewing photos at the WordPress.com free photo library.

heart with hope
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).
