In the cracked curl
Of earth
Baked in sun
And ancient salt,
The Dead Sea
Awaits a
Flawed flow of
Redemption,
Or a whitened end.

Fresh Blush

A nascent blush
Promises
The sweetness
To come
And holds the space
For what is yet
To form.

In Contrast
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
The days stretch on
In sun and shade,
Highlighting the contrast
To the lifespan of
A butterfly,
Its new wings splayed
In the warmth
To dry.
And I wonder
What the ancient rock thinks,
In contrast,
Of the human
Lifespan
Fleeting by.

Flatiron Renaissance
Photo: Inge Vandormael
Where Broadway
Meets fifth
In triangular happenstance,
Stands a Beaux-Arts building
That Flat-Ironed
A vertical Palazzo
Into a steel framed
Renaissance.

Hues Of Blue

From aqua blue
To deep hue
The ocean runs
Deeply through
The soul that breathes
In me and you.

Crawl Space
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Little arms
Little feet
Conquering sand
Waves to meet.
Breathing space
For a crawl
The expanse
Would not stall.

Shadows

Their shadows walked ahead
Tasting paths
Testing light
Traveling a step
Before
Their feet
Pressed footprints
And memories
Into sand.

Frozen In Time
Photo: Ofir Asif
They stand frozen in time.
Carving long blunted by
Wind and the loss of names
No one is left
To own,
Decode,
Or understand.
They stand frozen in time.
The saplings reaching up
To the heavens
The only sign of what
Even death cannot
Disband.

Rain Fed Red
Photo: Amitai Asif
In the depth
Of the winter,
Where so much
Appears dead,
Plan ahead.
For there are places
Where nature,
Finally rain fed,
Blooms into
Fields
Of red.

Determined
Photo: Dvora Freedman
Rise above
Hardship’s fray
In gentle curls
Of delicate
Pink,
And an underbelly
Of powerful
Orange
Smelted from the
Brink.
For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Orange and Pink
