more colors of blue

more colors of blue
in Lake Michigan today
than I can name
the wonder of always learning
dreaming new dreams

Short Poem

cold
Lake Michigan winds
a tiny bird
seeks shelter
by the kitchen window

Images: wpclipart

small waves to shore
one song after another
fades to silence

Lake Michigan is always changing.

Today I am listening to Karen Marie Garrett “Award-Winning Pianist and Composer.”

morning prayer
water birds flying north
stay close to water
