He is not here; for he is risen, as he said.
Matthew 28: 6a (KJV)
good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different
cold April winds
and Spring in the house
hyacinths bloom
strength and help
of kind words
fragrance of hyacinths
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* The first line of my poem is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV).
small gifts
sustain hope
add together
light falls
on my Bible
and poetry
by my chair
