As fields of flowers bloom
And the breath catches
At the extravagance,
Let joy leap
As your soul watches
Spring fairies’ flitting elegance.
Flowers for Today

Let laughter
Ripple through you
Like ribbons
Of joy.
Let it fill you
With mirth.
Let it buoy you
Aloft
When the world
Tilts ahoy.

May the light
Spark the day
Glinting awe
On its way.
May the waves
Hug the sand
As your heart
Understands.

It’s a Zoo!
Photo: Pinterest
“It’s a zoo over there!”
She exclaimed. Out of breath.
Cheeks still red from the stairs
And the cold evening air.
“It’s a zoo in the store.
It’s a zoo in the park.
It’s a zoo … at the zoo,”
Her smile grew.
She cracked up.
Couldn’t stop.
Her delight
Only matched
By the first time she ‘got’
“Slipped my mind” meant forgot.

Let’s Peek!

What are they looking at?
What did she want to see?
What hides behind that high stone wall?
What on earth could it be?
I tried to turn the image ’round
And it would not let me.
This photo oh does ever pique
My curiosity!

Pedestrian

This photo makes me smile.
The vistas and the light and play of shade and stream and sun, yes … But more than anything, the path and the story it tells: the measured step of the dad with the baby on his back, keeping one eye on the older one; the exuberant skip of the boy; the plastic bag tied to the father’s carrier, containing who knows what but probably some leftover drink and snack; the other people in the background, strolling, skipping, taking in the fresh air and the sights.
A timeless story. Set in any place, in every language. Humans walking from one place to another, the oldest mode of transport since we’d swung down from the trees to become bipedal and free up our hands.

Mismatched Delight

Silt and mud, oozy streets
Too much fun
To resist.
Mismatched shoes
Do not blight
Sludgy mushy
Delight.

Spice of Life

For those who like spice
There’s a place of delight
For the taste of good life
When the sun warms you back
And the chilies, your belly.

Merry Go Round
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
In the midst of it all
At the center
Of streets
Big or small
Rain or shine
Grab a seat, hold on tight
Take a spin
On life’s Merry-Go-Round.
