For thou, O God,
hast heard my vows:
thou hast given me
the heritage
of those that fear thy name.
Psalm 61: 5 (KJV)
light snow
on harvested fields
peace of small roads
But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,
that the excellency
of the power
may be of God,
and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4: 7 (KJV)
staying with light
I read in different corners
of the house
trimming the stems
of carnations
and giving them
fresh water
October sun
one red tulip
blooms in the hosta border
time alone with God

My poem was published in A Moment’s Longing, Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthology 2019, edited by Tanya McDonald.
I am grateful, and still remember seeing this poem in the yard.
rain today
how soon we reach
the end of what we know
and how deep
faith continues to grow
