November Wisconsin countryside
Bare trees elegant against the sky
Colors in the landscape muted now
October’s glory is gone
And love grows eternally

willows weep and yet
how strong the branches
that hold their tears
In loving memory and hope
Memorial Day 2022
Thy statutes
have been my songs
in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psalm 119: 54

on a February afternoon
pine cones and clouds
Lake Michigan and ice
along the seawall
