As the cool nights
Begin,
Snow draws near
And she pulls in.
The verdant hues of
Summer’s green,
Slowly replaced with
Sleep’s bronze
Sheen.

Atop a daisy’s crown
Of petaled
White
A bee hovers
Set to hold
The pollen sought
Like precious
Gold.

Pink Remembering
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Spring recalls
How bushes previously bared
By frost and freeze,
Found a new lease
To bubble forth
A pink exuberance.
It is a good remembering
As fall emerges
To reclaim
The bushes’ leaves
Ahead of winter’s
Naked sleep.

Autumn’s Call

Trees will soon
Heed the call
To dress leaves
To enthrall
In the glorious
Ball
Foretelling cold
Yet to
Fall.

Pink For A Queen

There was a small patch
Of pink
In the large sea
Of green.
Flowers with
Heads together
Like bouquets
Fit for a queen.

Questions of Color
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
What will be
Of the day,
He so wanted
To say,
If you suddenly
Drain
All the color away?
Will the birds’ calls
Remain?
Will leaves still
With wind sway?
Will it be
As before
Or fade wholly
To gray?

Park Pretty
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
“Pink tree!” she delighted
Toddled quickly, pulled my hand
“Park pretty!” she exclaimed
“Come fast! Come fast!”
“Take picture?” she requested
And of course, I obliged.

Peace Point
Central Park, NYC (Photo: Na’ama Yehuda)
The more chaotic life becomes
With power hungers gaining ground,
The more determined then I am
To point the beauty that surrounds,
The heart and kindness that abound
And the true peace that won’t succumb.

Make Way

There’s a path in the park
Lined by mulch from trees past
So that every step presses
What had grown,
What won’t last.

A Shared World
Central Park, NYC; Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
In the midst of the bustle,
The hectic,
The cramped,
A shared world
Sprawls lush green:
Just a few steps
Within
A deep breath
And some peace
To partake in.
