From Ecclesiastes 3:11a (KJV).
September
September
still light as I read
in the late afternoon
and listen to music
leaves still green
late afternoon
late afternoon
leaves still green
in some wind and sun
shadows of tree branches
in light on a wall in my study
good to create
good to create
when we can
sometimes more
sometimes less
every year different
view at my desk
view at my desk
blue jay visits
the birch tree
light grows
light grows
in the morning yard
as I sit and read
day begins
music
music
and then the music of silence
poetry books
