winter solstice
and Christmas soon
winters are long here
yet the light grows
and spring returns

winter solstice
and Christmas soon
winters are long here
yet the light grows
and spring returns
October days
a few Christmas songs . . .
sunrise
ordering
a Christmas wreath
for my parents’ graves
even though I know
they are not there
Christmas Eve
one new flower begins
on the cactus
star-quiet
Christmas memories
and timeless thoughts
Christmas morning
prayers for health and peace
before dawn . . .
S erene and sure
T rust
A long the
R oad of faith
STAR
reading poems
for Lent and Easter
light breaks through
clouds and shines on red
Christmas cactus leaves
The Psalms Series 2020: A Summary is a new post at Poems From Psalms And Nature.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67: 1 – 2
You may also enjoy our site, Quiet Christmas Poetry.
In 2014, Karl and I published a large print chapbook from the Christmas site.
Information posts begin the Christmas site, and the posts/poems that became the book follow, and so can also be read online, at Quiet Christmas Poetry.
Merry Christmas,
