Light Flows Now

Posted on December 21, 2017 by Ellen Grace Olinger

Light flows now
through trees with few leaves
reaches the forest floor
impossible to describe
until I ponder the
Incarnation

“And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us”

John 1: 14a (KJV)

laundry folded
and put away
sitting in my study
and as far as I can see
there is light

warmer weather
on the way
God’s gift of nature
getting ready
to color the gardens

in the area
where we had
to take a tree down
new peony leaves

Northern sun
shines on frozen beach
still the days grow shorter
shadow of poinsettia
on the wall
