The light on blue-gray water
Waves a landing strip
To bless an incoming flight.

Fallen
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
I’ve lost connection
With over-tired roots
Fragile
With the passage of the elements
And time.
I’ve let go
To the shifting earth
And to the rocks
Repeatedly cracked open
By frost and sun.
And toppled to lie
Finally
Atop the ground.
Ready to go back
To that from which
I had
Become.

Frozen
Photo: Amitai Asif
Inside the core of frozen
Lore
There beats a tender
Heart.
Beneath the glaciers of
Dearth
Unfurl forgotten
Paths.
Amidst the howling winds of
Cold
Whispers bid to
Start,
And feed the seed ‘neath Tundra’s
Soul
Awaiting summer’s
Part.
Note: just the other day, I watched parts of the movie “Frozen” (the first one) with a young child, in preparation for that child’s going to the movies with friends to see “Frozen 2.” Now I have an ear-worm and am yet to “let it go” … 😉

The Gazelle
Photo: Atara Katz
She has come to inspect
The tent
The snacks
The gear
The rest.
A gazelle
Wearing smiles
And she’ll stay
For a
While.
Entertainment
It seems
Can be found
On a whim.

A Different Kind Of Home
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
A moment
For the memory of
A different kind of home,
Where sun sparkles
On the water
And you feel your soul
Fold along the crease
Of rolling foam,
And where your spirit
Sings the song of places
It has long known
How to roam.

Portal To Tomorrow
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
In the portal to
Tomorrow
Let the trumpets
Ring not
Alarm
And rush to
Harm,
But stop to the
Hubris
Of war.
In the portal for
Tomorrow
May those men
Who rashly
Spend
The life of
Others,
Know the call
Of trumpets
Often heralded
Only pain,
More gore.
Enough.
Enough.
No more.

Should We Poke?
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Look at that thing
With the wings,
Can it fly
Or can it sing?
Should we poke it?
Better not.
Press the fence
That keeps out tots.

Oh, The Mistletoe
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Oh, there’s the mistletoe,
The berries
Over green.
The holidays
In olden faiths
Remembered,
Veiled, still seen.
Oh, in the mistletoe,
The Druid,
Norse,
The Greek,
For strength of
Loins,
And sacrifice
For friendship, love
And peace.
Oh, in the mistletoe
A medicine
A kiss.
May it bring
Your heart
Only the best
Of all of
This.

No Longer Cold
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
It had stared
Though the window
At the clothed
Indoor tree
Wrapped in tinsel
And glory,
Gifts at its feet,
Stars on its crown.
And it shivered,
Naked,
In the cold.
All leaves long gone.
“This tree is naked,”
A child stopped,
Compared,
Bemoaned.
“It is too cold.”
Not anymore, Child,
Not anymore.
Note: I took this photo earlier today in New York City, as I walked past this brownstone’s holiday decorations. This post is dedicated to all who are outside, looking in. May you be seen. May you be clothed. May you be known. May you no longer be cold.
Also, for the new Monday Window challenge
