evergreen trees
with their branches
in May winds
through another
winter and green
and growing
resilient
some broken branches
interesting shapes
shelter for birds
the years show
and they are
beautiful as
they bless
today

I am posting many new photos from the yard on my primary site, Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.
garden journal
through the seasons
every photo a prayer
trusting God
a little more
with my questions
fog rests
on Spring fields

Time Of Singing, Spring 2014
the years
that were so hard
and yet
they gave me
my stories

There have been new sorrows since last Easter, with passings of older family members and friends. The perennials return in spring, and also picture Easter for me. Some of you saw my new photo of snowdrops yesterday, on my primary blog, Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. They are telling me stories. One year, they were covered with snow after they bloomed. The snow melted, and they were still blooming.
Quietness
sound of water
wind
computer
and my typing
reflecting
upon
the many ways
I have
observed
this sacred week
and now
this time
of simple
silence
