Wrapping tentative fingers
That become tangled vines
Jungle trees tell the boulder:
“You’re my rock, you are mine.”

Around The Bend

They ran around the metal that machines had bent
And right across the bend of time
Into handmade medieval.

A Challenge To Pick
Photo: Chagit Moriah-Gibor
When faced with
This-is-just-impassable,
The oh-too-dangerous,
And far-too-far
To pull out from;
One step
And then
A careful second,
With a resolute pick
And sturdy rope,
Will help lock arms
With trembling courage,
To climb you out
Of hazard’s maw.

Pass Time

At exactly the right time
She passes through,
Sliding by.
A riverboat
Glides alongside
The clock in sky.

The Best Tradition
Photo: R. Yehuda
The doorbell rings
The gate stays open
As they trickle, stream, come in.
Sisters, brothers, nieces, cousins,
Nephews, parents, aunts and uncles,
And new additions to the scene.
Candles lit and babies cuddled,
In the kitchen tied-up aprons swirl
As busy hands ready cuisine.
A phone is passed:
A distant caller
Hellos each loved one from the screen.
The rooms are filled
The hearts are fuller.
Another year of treasured family din.

Cushion wintering hearts
With fallen leaves.

A Journey’s Blessing
Photo: Dvora Freedman
As you take the journey home,
May there be a light
To guide you.
As you take the journey home,
May all that’s necessary
Be with you.
As you take one step
After another,
May the energies
Sustain you.
And when you finally
Reach home,
May loving arms and hearts
Embrace you.

Warmer Together

Come and play
In the snowdrifts
And the cold
Will not bite
We are warmer
Together
And will sleep well
Tonight.

Revisiting Tranquility
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
As cooler days strip the grass
Into brown freezer spots,
Recall days of lush summer
Full of green sunny lots.
Take a breath
Of warm memory,
Hold the story
It told.
It will return
When the weather,
Meanders back from
The cold.

A Child’s Cheer
Photo: Chagit Moriah-Gibor
As chilly nights
Churn cold winds
And unclothed trees
Hold branches
In a yearn
To huddle near,
Cherish the fleeting
Flowing moments
Of memory’s chalices
Filling with cheer,
As a child
Chants a prayer
And gently lights
History’s challenge
To despair
Lack
And fear.
