As I worked on this morning’s post, From Psalm 25, I thought again about the wonderful vocabulary list that can be created from the Psalms. For our series in 2020, I quoted from the King James Version. Over the years, I have read from different Bible translations.
soul
mercies
lovingkindnesses
“Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.”
An old haiku:
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).

new year sunrise
light fills
the red poinsettia
branches viewed
in the corner windows
beloved old tree
May sunrise
a few more flowers
on the Christmas cactus
Sunday afternoon
I know the time
by the light
summer evening
light fills the evergreens
with old and new growth
reading poems
from years ago
perennials grow
mid-July
daylilies and hosta
tell the time
frost soon –
cutting flowers
generously
rereading Psalms
colors of leaves
a deeper gold
roots in His Word
I will flower again

my hope is in thee.
