The Word
And the Word
was made flesh,
and dwelt among us . . .
full of grace
and truth.
From John 1:14 (KJV)
Psalm 147 “He giveth snow . . .”
He giveth snow
like wool:
he scattereth the hoarfrost
like ashes.
Psalm 147: 16 (KJV)
snowflakes
snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time
tree branches
tree branches
and winter white sky

one month ends
one month ends
another begins
evergreen branches
frame the night sky
after the stores
after the stores
ornamental grasses
in snow
