willows weep and yet
how strong the branches
that hold their tears
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows . . .

the many ways
I have

and now

and he shall hear my voice.

cold April winds
and Spring in the house
hyacinths bloom
strength and help
of kind words
fragrance of hyacinths

nothing could be
more beautiful
than the trees
and their new leaves
beginning
except for when
they are in full
Summer green
and then turn
their Autumn colors
and then are their
wise Winter selves
waiting for Spring

to turn yellow
in this day’s sun
and will bloom soon
daffodils from the store
