Take a moment
To rest
Ere you once more
Take flight.
Let the weariest
Parts
Lean their weight
With foresight,
For the breath
That will come
Delicate
In the light.

The light on blue-gray water
Waves a landing strip
To bless an incoming flight.

Fallen
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
I’ve lost connection
With over-tired roots
Fragile
With the passage of the elements
And time.
I’ve let go
To the shifting earth
And to the rocks
Repeatedly cracked open
By frost and sun.
And toppled to lie
Finally
Atop the ground.
Ready to go back
To that from which
I had
Become.

A Different Kind Of Home
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
A moment
For the memory of
A different kind of home,
Where sun sparkles
On the water
And you feel your soul
Fold along the crease
Of rolling foam,
And where your spirit
Sings the song of places
It has long known
How to roam.

Oh, The Mistletoe
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Oh, there’s the mistletoe,
The berries
Over green.
The holidays
In olden faiths
Remembered,
Veiled, still seen.
Oh, in the mistletoe,
The Druid,
Norse,
The Greek,
For strength of
Loins,
And sacrifice
For friendship, love
And peace.
Oh, in the mistletoe
A medicine
A kiss.
May it bring
Your heart
Only the best
Of all of
This.

No Longer Cold
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
It had stared
Though the window
At the clothed
Indoor tree
Wrapped in tinsel
And glory,
Gifts at its feet,
Stars on its crown.
And it shivered,
Naked,
In the cold.
All leaves long gone.
“This tree is naked,”
A child stopped,
Compared,
Bemoaned.
“It is too cold.”
Not anymore, Child,
Not anymore.
Note: I took this photo earlier today in New York City, as I walked past this brownstone’s holiday decorations. This post is dedicated to all who are outside, looking in. May you be seen. May you be clothed. May you be known. May you no longer be cold.

Windows On Display

His artwork,
Carefully crafted by
Little fingers
And a big
Heart,
Proudly on display
At the family’s
Living room,
Like any well deserving
Art.
Note: This is one of a series of creations by my nephew, who was about 7-8 years old when he crafted this and other lovely depictions in modeling clay 3D art.

Till time alights
To set things right
May last year’s light
Fill this year’s nights.

Rippled water paint
Soft liquid cloth
Along the coast,
While boats at anchor
Bob at buoys
With tides’ ebb and float.

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.
