And the stories that we tell
To small ones under
Good tales’ spell
Become the fabric
That unveils
The yarns they’ll spin
Or might dispel.

Pink, greens, purple and some blues
Siamese white and yellow, too
A bike that somehow rose and flew
Graffiti that some hoodlums drew:
This building will stand out to you!

Meet the Beat

The new piece unfolded in his head during the long flight. The chords danced to the beat of the flickering red light on the airplane’s wing and the turbulence lent base to the melody. It was perfect. He’d have written the notes right there and then had it not been for his propensity to motion sickness. Staring out the window was the only remedy. Sometimes the best inspiration.
“Let it go, let it go!” his daughter’s singing in her room welcomed him home.
And the nascent harmonies obeyed, dispersed, let gone.

Story Buds

Fledgling stories
Flap immature wings
In my mind,
Inchoate plots
I don’t yet
Understand.
They unfurl
Like the leaves
From a still tight closed bud –
A surprise
For the growth
That awaited
Inside.

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.

Beauty From The Rough
Photo: Ofir Asif
Carve beauty
Out of woe.
Hew purpose
From the rough.
Sculpt meaning
To make good enough
What wasn’t
And yet
Somehow was
All you could
Know.
Carve beauty
Out of woe.
Find you
Inside
The flow.

Undulating Resolve

When resolve wobbles,
When your heart
Worries at
Goals
And your fingers
Forget
Their own
Flow –
Recall how
Every wave
Oscillates
To and fro,
How
The ocean
Itself
Undulates
Onto each
Remote
Shore.

Knit and Purl

Knit the yarn
Click and purl
Weave and braid
Loop and curl
Blanket beds
Shelter heads
From the cold
Up ahead.

Wacky Loo

It may not be the best planning
(Though extra points for depiction geared
For universal understanding …)
To include such giggle-making signing
Right where many are aligning
With legs already crossed in short queue pining …

If you create anything, create hope.
If you create anything, create in light.
If you create anything, create with love.
