Path Advice

In the deserts of life

When it seems that oases you’ve taken for granted

Have forgotten

Marked paths,

Don’t ignore painted signs

Of the flags of times past.

The direction you take may determine

If your very next steps

Lead to hope

Or end up being

Your last.

Come this way and I’ll show you

The best spots for

Sweet cherries.

Come this way

I’ll protect you

From the thorns

On the berries.

Hold my hand

Be my friend.

From today to the end

You can on me

Depend.

Come This Way

There is no need to sneak

Or take the long way around

You’re invited to step on

The green grassy ground.

Such a lovely reminder

That lawns are to be used

It’s a warm friendly offer

That I shall not refuse!

Shuttered Way

Old way down stony hill

Many shutters hold still.

Do aged walls

Yet recall

What in past time rang through:

“Gardez l’eau, Gardez l’eau…”?

Walk This Way

Walk this way

To the water

Where the goats

Cleared a path.

Walk this way

Where the feet

Of the ancients

Have passed.

Walk this way

Little brother

I will give you

My hand.

Walk this way

And together

Our adventures

Expand.

Make Way

Mulch path Central Park NaamaYehuda

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.
