I look at my shelves, and what has been there for a time; and I have not read this book or that journal. Then I wonder why – what was happening then? And I remember, and maybe had read a poem or two, or a page or two, and was helped and blessed.

plans for silence

POEMS FROM OOSTBURG, WISCONSIN
Autumn views
from the window
by my desk many years
and this year
the most beautiful
reading a new book
the fragrance
of fresh paper
study window
above my desk
snow on the screen
and from the roof
snow on trees
and then grey sky
New poem yesterday at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin – reprinted here in large print.
