In flaming end to
Warmth’s reprieve,
Cold days burnish
Red
Onto leaves.
A final curtain call
To leave.

In temples
Festooned
Not for one day
But all,
Glory shines
Festive gold
For good luck
To prolong.

It is Time
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
It is time to make time
For the truth
Of what happened.
It is time to make space
For what some wished
Not be known.
It is time to take heed
Of the lengths went
To smother
The misdeeds and bad choices
So the fake
Will take hold.
It is time to revisit
Civic duty and justice
And refuse to permit
Free reign for hate,
Greed and lies.
It is time to return
To the truth.
For in fact it has long been
Well way past
The time.

Boulder Holder

Wrapping tentative fingers
That become tangled vines
Jungle trees tell the boulder:
“You’re my rock, you are mine.”

A Challenge To Pick
Photo: Chagit Moriah-Gibor
When faced with
This-is-just-impassable,
The oh-too-dangerous,
And far-too-far
To pull out from;
One step
And then
A careful second,
With a resolute pick
And sturdy rope,
Will help lock arms
With trembling courage,
To climb you out
Of hazard’s maw.

Pass Time

At exactly the right time
She passes through,
Sliding by.
A riverboat
Glides alongside
The clock in sky.

Cushion wintering hearts
With fallen leaves.
Let bare earth
Have a rest.

Late Dance
Photo: Rega’im Menatzhim
Things were winding down. Most tables had been cleared and many guests had left for home. Only the hardiest (or closest kin) still remained. Sated and a bit deflated with fatigue, they lounged, gossiped, tapped phones, and not-so-surreptitiously checked the time. Several small children slept on makeshift cots of pulled together chairs.
Music still played but with more inertia than conviction.
The celebration was officially over, though not for everyone: two boys, oblivious to the late hour and overall exhaustion, danced on.

A Journey’s Blessing
Photo: Dvora Freedman
As you take the journey home,
May there be a light
To guide you.
As you take the journey home,
May all that’s necessary
Be with you.
As you take one step
After another,
May the energies
Sustain you.
And when you finally
Reach home,
May loving arms and hearts
Embrace you.

Warmer Together

Come and play
In the snowdrifts
And the cold
Will not bite
We are warmer
Together
And will sleep well
Tonight.
