The more chaotic life becomes
With power hungers gaining ground,
The more determined then I am
To point the beauty that surrounds,
The heart and kindness that abound
And the true peace that won’t succumb.

In a world of Divine
Prophecies
Of all kinds,
Little wonder
A Mantis
Folds green limbs
To Life’s design.

Water-worn by the ages
By the floods
By the rain,
Time has carved
Eras’ layers
Through the rock
Grain by grain.
Scars of years
Line the wadi
To funnel life –
None in vain.

In a city that
Never
Sleeps
It soars high,
With the weight of the
World
Hollowed out,
Scraping sky.

As the first freesia
Bravely blooms
Buds await
In scaly wombs
Till it tastes
Sun’s perfume.

Surely all would admit
Something here does not fit
King or not
No one ought
To require this bed
For their camped royal head.
Echium judaeum (Photo: Amitai Asif)
As you walk in the mountains
In wild meadows and deserts
O’er Rocks
Towards the Sun,
Hear the whiskery stalks’ whisper:
“You have seen,
I have grown,
Now be gone.”
Fun fact: The blooms of the Echium Judaeum change color after pollination.

Half-wildling
Half-tame
She sometimes
Knew her name.
One moment she’d hiss
The next she would purr
To allow or dismiss
You from stroking her fur.

There’s a path in the park
Lined by mulch from trees past
So that every step presses
What had grown,
What won’t last.

Where the green spikes grow tall
And the artichoke blossoms
You just know that the future
Will taste pretty awesome.
