Morning crept
With cold
Rays,
To frost dress
A new
Day,
With the chill
Soon to
Be,
Preview of
Winter’s
Fee.

A Piece of Peace
Photo: Amitai Asif
She wanted just
A slice of peace.
A piece of what she’d seen
Available
To others
And advertised as
Something one could
Reach.
She wanted just a taste
Of what it could be like
To know
Release.
Meanwhile she knew
She had to make do
With
Internal
Armistice.

Cold Recalled
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
I remember
Past winter
Of old,
There was light
Shining warmth
In the cold.
I recall spring’s
Late blanket
White bold,
Under lamps’
Glow of soft
Molten gold.

Kiss Bliss
Photo: Anne Toet
Time had arrived
To make the shift
From frog
To handsome
Prince,
But then the kiss
When it was dished
Kept Frog’s
Amphibian
Bliss.

In Waiting
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
I am waiting for you
To come back.
To grab hold
And place me
Against your forehead,
As you adjust the strap.
I am waiting
For you
To return
From where you’d left me
Behind
Or forgot
I might yearn
To be perched
On your brow
Holding firm
Against burn.

Morning Calm
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Soft ripples spread
Like ribbons of
Silk
As morning heads
Toward shimmering
Heat.
Note: The photo was taken in Ko Samui, Thailand, on an August morning. It was sublime.

Slippery Slope
Photo: Inbar Asif
Down the slippery slope
Of icy past
And current treachery
They go,
Balancing precariously
On the edge of
What to do
With what they know.

Yellow Fellows

Speed of passage
Matched
By change
Of time.
A City moment
Snatched
By yellow
In its
Prime.

Yellowed Gold

Yellowed gold
Touching white
Lighting day
Glinting night.
Perfect fingers
Splayed bold
Last hurrah
Before cold.

Too Steep To Stand
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Up steep stairs
Of old, new places
He is reaching up
Hand over hand.
Bravely mastering
The gaps that make it,
Way too frightening
To stand.
Up he goes,
A little hero,
Climbing life’s thrilling
Demand.
In his moment of
Adventure,
Oblivious
To just how well we
Understand.
