The sun’s reflection on the water.
Energy in small waves stored.
The light
The breath
The exhalation.
Life’s strumming flow
Its own reward.

Peak’s Bones
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Ancient stone
Not disowned
By old time’s
Marching on.
Newer walls
Chaperone
To contain
Buddha’s throne,
And only the peak’s
Crumbling bones
Tell of years
Now long
Gone.

Springing Time
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
They push up
Through cold ground
Where morning frost
Still abounds
And color
The park
So a new spring
Can spark.
(Not quite this year’s spring photo … yet – this one being from early spring in 2017 – but it nonetheless infuses hope for soon-to-be cousins of these blooms enlivening the park!)

Shimmer’s Glimmer
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Evening gathers to call
Flocks to watering hole
And to glimmers of fish
In the sparkling bowl.
Palm to palm
Whispers calm,
As the pond
Drained but bright
Refracts sun’s glinting light
From silvery fins
‘Til a good night.

Rock Gathering
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Gather ’round the rocks
As daylight lingers
Onto land,
And sunlight’s fingers
Tickle children
In windowed shade
And sun.
Gather ’round the City’s park
To frolic
As Spring comes,
And as the promise
Of green growth
Comes closer
Dawn by dawn.
(While today is the Spring Equinox, the photo itself is more promise than reality … for the trees in Central Park are yet to bud and green, but soon they will … and so the photo holds a sight near to be seen …)

Peru Proud
Photo: Amitai Asif
There she stands,
Belongs,
Enlivened
By the land
That mountains birthed,
And the knowledge
Of the power
That she holds
Through Mother Earth.

Soul Searching
Photo: Inbar Asif
Would you sell your soul
To sorrow?
Would you reap
Hate’s awful gain?
Would you let go of
Tomorrow
So false power
Rise again?
Will your heart see
All humanity?
What will you allow,
Sustain?
Will your soles
Feed earth
Or hollow
Out it’s wealth
To drain?
Will you leave
Your soul abandoned?
Will you let your spirit
Die?
Or will you hold on
To the morrow
In a world
For you
And I?

Saving Daylight
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Cherish every moment
Left
Of light as
Suns will set.
Hold on to the
Deep rewards
Of daylight breathed
Through soul,
And saved.

To The Seashore
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
I will go to the seashore
Where the waves touch the sky.
I will go to the seashore
To kiss the day fond goodbye.
I will go to the seashore
Where the boats come on home,
And the children still play,
And the sun’s last rays roam,
And my soul sings with the surf
Where it has always belonged.

Norway fjord
Smooth as glass
Flowing cold
Through mountains’ pass.
