A basalt creek after the rain
Where mountains spewed onto the plain
Cold lava rock there still remains
The base for what’ll grow again.
A Basalt Creek After The Rain
Meditations

As the world tilts between breath
And release,
As the sea ebbs and flows
Into peace,
I remember my core
The heartbeat
Of my soul,
Batteries filled again
Making my spirit
Whole.

Night Light

Dancing light on the water
A bright night in the bay
Turning shimmering rainbows
To melted ink on display.

Pyrotechnical Prayer
Photo by Laziii Codar on Pexels.com
May you light the sky
With color
Not with pain.
May you fill all hearts
With freedom
Not disdain.
May the booms resound
Within
To offer hope.
As the boons of
Independence
Widen scope.
Merriam-Webster’s word for July 4, 2018:
Pyrotechnics

Heated

In the heat
Of the desert
In the heat
Of the fight
They will spar
Under swelter
To claim heat
With their might.

Beginnings

A new shoot
Pushes forth.
A reminder
Of the tenuous
Exuberance
That turning
A new leaf
Holds.

Find Your Métier
Maybe it is healing
And the saving of lives,
Or the wonder of teaching
And forming young minds.
Maybe it is farming
To nourish and grow,
Or building the homes
For the shelter we know.
Maybe it is writing
Putting words to the page,
Or any vocation
That forms our age.
May it be that whatever
Strums your soul, fills your need
I pray that you find it
And its call you will heed.

Skirl a tune
Blow the pipes
Upon Highlands’
Tall banks.
Through deep lochs
And rocky lakes
May beauty keep
Your soul awake.

Shuttered Way
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Old way down stony hill
Many shutters hold still.
Do aged walls
Yet recall
What in past time rang through:
“Gardez l’eau, Gardez l’eau…”?

Solstice Supplication
Photo: Osnat Halperin-Barlev
Light stretches
On this day
To hold a hope
For those beset
By darkness.
May golden rays
Wrap hugs
Around the tears
At a world’s
Tipping point.
