Bright light shines
Onto poles
As egrets call
And small hands
Hold
Sight to
Behold.

I watched its solitary fly by
And wondered if it felt
Lonesome for the many it had once
Belonged to
Yet left,
Or if it was a scout,
Holding a memory of a long-ago-known
Place to land
That others had forgotten
Or had misplaced the
Sense of.
Will it circle back to its own,
Flapping on the wing
In fatigued relief,
To let the rest know
It had found this night’s
Home?

Reading Time
Photo: Philip Coons
May the words wrap
Around you
In shade and in
Sun.
May a book grab
Inside you
To where stories
Abound.
May good tales sustain
Your
Every heartbeat
And sound.
May you find space
Aplenty
To create
Reading time.

The Blues
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Stand up
To the dimming of
The light
By cruel
Injustice.
Be the lone voice
If you
Must.
Hold tall
Against the winds
That wish to
Break right
Into wrong
And form
Wrong
Into common practice.
Behold the skies
In blues
And clouded
Sorrow,
Even as you keep
Fighting for
Better today
And a just
Tomorrow.
For July Blues

On The Wing

In the blink
Of an eye
And a lifetime,
On the wing
Fleeting by
For the one time.

Shadows’ Way

As the shadows lengthened
At the end of day,
She paused,
Reflecting,
On the direction
Of her way.

These Walls
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
How many did these laboriously
Hewed walls
Close in on
As they trudged endlessly
With buckets laden
And arms weighted
Up and down
And up and down again
For more?
How many did they shelter
Under siege
Of catapults and
Rusted arrows
As the walls shuddered
Dust
Onto the bitten lips
And rounded shoulders
Of those crouched below?
How many hastened feet
Did these walls keep secrets for
Under the cover of
Night
And sentries’ snores
As lovers met
In darkened corners
To remember
Life before?

Spreads above

Blue Planet

Serpentine line
Undulates across planes
Amidst the snowed patches of
Rugged terrain.
Spread below
To horizon
Of blue onto blue
This one planet
We share
All of us –
Me and you.

“Come on Daddy, let us go
To the great outdoors
And so,
Pack this rock in
And that, too.
I’m all set
And so should you!”
