shoveling . . .
scent of mint
through snow

Christmas Poems
Christmas CDs
playing with the volume low
in the fields
the beauty of harvested
corn in snow
*
Sunday morning
all the lovely voices
singing Silent Night
*
reading one page
at a time
of this book and that
evergreens
in gentle wind
*
new year
on the horizon
simple lines
of barns and trees
in the fog
*
looking at trees
I remember prayers
of friends
