Eight brown ducks bobbing by
In the shade, under sky
Waiting for humans’ bread
To fall down on their head.

I will go, Big Brother
To the end of the earth
After you.
In spite of fear
I will try to repeat
All you do.
But I’ll still
Just in case
Reach for
And draw courage
From you.

Times Old

In the days that unfold
Morning rays
Evening’s gold,
What awaits
Up your sleeve,
Still untold,
Kept in trust
Since times old?

“I Am Waiting”
Photo: mostlymommyhood.com
“I am waiting,” she crouched with jaw ensconced by tiny fists supported on little elbows pressed into small knees.
Her eyes did not leave the circle of translucence and white suds.
“It will be a while,” her momma said. “How about we go have a snack? I think we still have some cookies left.”
“But I’m waiting,” the toddler admonished, as if the wait itself precluded any other thing from being done … not even the consumption of normally-tantrum-before-dinner-worthy cookies.
Then again, maybe this wait indeed required full attention. After all, it was her terry friends being tumbled, wet, forlorn and all alone, so far away from hug and hand.

For A Change

Provoking change
Need not mean
Torment or insult.
Better growth is
To be had:
Evoke hope.
Inspire trust.
Kindle progress.
Proffer light.

Even in the frozen ground
Small wonders sleep
Ensconced
Awaiting
Tender tending.

Tardy Times

Sometimes I know
The pace of
Tardy,
Slow but
Stubborn,
Will outwit
My best laid plans.
Goalposts redrawn.

Almost time

Ode to Tentative
Photo: Osnat Halperin-Barlev
When faced with rough terrain ahead
Or uneven steps that may
Hold the potential
For plunging
Into pain
Or disruption:
Proceed with care.
Caution does not mean
Cowardice.
Bluster and bold moves do not denote
Good reason.
Determination often means
Holding on
To what railing is available
And bending down
To circumstance
So one may reach
Desired heights
Without the disservice
Of overzealous
Pride
To
Detriment.

Thorny Matters
Photo: Amitai Asif
Sometimes spikes
May well mean
You best keep your
Distance.
However,
If you take the time
To understand
That prickly often means
Protective,
You may find
Some thorny people
Can with kind acceptance
And a bit of patience
Come to share
Sweet fruit.
