And So My Soul: large print poem

And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again
As the sun spills
Over flowers
And the neighborhood
Sleeps

Endurance is eloquent
And marigolds are
Admirable because
They bloom
So long

Oh, my heart
Is tender
Yet God keeps it
Strong
And so my soul
Spills over
Into print again

Ellen Grace Olinger

Time of Singing,1991

From my post, Old Poem: And So My Soul. I thought it would be helpful to some readers to also offer a large print version.

snow today: large print

snow today
red bow on the wreath
for the cedar tree

And these two poems are from Quiet Christmas Poetry:

wind freeing the snow
from evergreen branches
waterfalls

Christmas CDs
playing with the volume low
in the fields
the beauty of harvested
corn in snow

snow today post
