Take a measure
Of history,
Held in hand
Like a gift
From time.

It cracks the rock and pushes forth
To skies that swirl in
Matching froth.

At her ease.

Let The Silence

Let the silence
Become
The song.
Let the stillness
Move
The throng.
Let the quiet
Speak
For wrong.
Let the tacit
Hold
Its own.
Let the silence
Become
The song.

Homecoming
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
As you descend toward the shore
You see
The water
Lapping
At the edges
Of what will
In a moment be
The touchdown to your welcome home.
Note: This photo was taken last month, on a cellphone, from behind the thick windows of a Boeing 787 on approach to JFK (shadow of the aircraft on the water).

Viva La Vista

Wider than the wildest view
It spans
The soul
To draw in breath
And nourish you.

Echoes

They’ve left the fridge door open.
The cool pooled close,
Breathing light
Into the space
As if the halo of it
Could be
Mistaken
For the life
That no longer
Offered heartbeat
In these rooms
That still echo
With the sounds
Of “please don’t!
Oh please!
Please!
Not the kids!”

As the storm rolled in
And rain took hold,
Mountains cowered
Under fog.
Note: The above photos were taken within minutes of each other last August in Thailand, as I took an afternoon walk on the beach and a fast-moving tropical storm sped in and essentially cloaked the mountains.

Vulnerable To Sputter
Photo: Amitai Asif
Freedom
Doesn’t require
You relinquish all
Protection,
For without it
Flames become
Vulnerable
To sputter,
Or go astray
In the
Wind.
