In the spring soon to come
As the snow loses hold
The intrepid push up
Unafraid of the cold.
They poke heads
Lead the way
And in rush to full blush
Chase the winter away.

“I Am Waiting”
Photo: mostlymommyhood.com
“I am waiting,” she crouched with jaw ensconced by tiny fists supported on little elbows pressed into small knees.
Her eyes did not leave the circle of translucence and white suds.
“It will be a while,” her momma said. “How about we go have a snack? I think we still have some cookies left.”
“But I’m waiting,” the toddler admonished, as if the wait itself precluded any other thing from being done … not even the consumption of normally-tantrum-before-dinner-worthy cookies.
Then again, maybe this wait indeed required full attention. After all, it was her terry friends being tumbled, wet, forlorn and all alone, so far away from hug and hand.

I’d Rather Find Rainbows
Photo: Amitai Asif
I would rather be joyful
I’d rather hold hope.
I’d rather find rainbows
(Won’t dismiss pots of gold).
I’d rather know light
In the dawn
In the dusk,
Feel the song of the earth
As it peals in my heart.

What Noise?

“I cannot stand the city,” they said,
Homesick for dark, wooded silence.
“It’s all clamor and racket.”
“It’s my refuge,” he smiled
At the trucks, people, sirens.
“The streets thrum the best lullaby…”

I’d Rather
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
I’d rather be
As I am
Just in a world
Less fraught
With wrong
And sorrow.
And yet,
If in my druthers
Things were not
Exactly as they are
In both joy and dismay,
What would make me
Be exactly
As I am
Today?

In Your Grasp
Photo: Amitai Asif
It is in your grasp
To take hold
To absorb
Offered light
Life’s rewrite.
It’s within your soul
To recall
To be bold
In the hollowed out space
Of your mind
To breathe deep
To grow whole.

Meandering
Photo: Amitai Asif
When life turns back onto itself
When flow seems stalled
Or slogs to mud
Hope still remains
A promise curled in gathered clouds
For though they hide the current sun
They still meander
Toward a future
Of fertile streams
To guard.

And Suddenly

“And suddenly,” she said,
“Life is not simple anymore.
Or was it never
And I just did not seem
To know?”

Wonder On

May we never stop to wonder.
May we never lose a dream.
May the image in our spirit
Find its way into our realm.
May the fairies that can flutter
In our younger, fresher soul,
Move forth awe and harvest marvel
To grow us closer to our whole.

Not Immovable
Photo: Amitai Asif
Even the mountains
Seeming well set in stone
Their uncompromising
Place so solidly headstrong
Can move
Themselves
Pebble by pebble
Rainstorm by rainstorm
To places one had
Never thought
A mountain
May join.
