Life will loop back
Onto itself
A coil of time,
A wreath of memories
Unwound,
Revisiting.
Hold tight. Ride on.
A curve will come.
A turn to grow.
Till the next loop
Flows back
Contracting
Time.

Poetry
Father Kindness
Photo: C. Moriah-Gibor
Be a father to the vulnerable
Guide the path of those who need
A lift
A helping hand.
Be a father to those seeking
To find shelter
Who need help to
Understand.
Show the way.
Provide
Kind counsel.
If by biology or presence
Be the best
Model
You can.
For it is by kindness
That fathering
Takes hold
And
Grows children
Strong
In body, heart
And mind.

A Moment in Time
A moment in time (Photo: Atara Katz)
In the pause
Between the breath in
And breath out
There’s a moment
In time
Of
Eternity
Slowed,
All movements
Frozen,
Thawed,
Life
Buoyed.

Adrift
- Photo: Atara Katz
Let your mind weigh anchor.
Oblige your soul to sail.
Release the mooring of your thoughts.
Set your heart free.
Let your spirit
Cruise
Adrift.

Be in the Pink
If your heart groans
Under worry
And your belly
Plays acid songs,
Don’t despair:
Life’s still there.
If your head spins
With confusion
In realities
Beyond compare,
Don’t give up:
There’s repair.
If your muscles
Clench with anger
And anxiety
Sheds your hair,
Don’t give in
To what’s not fair.
If your color
Lost its luster
And your spirit’s
Pale and bare,
Don’t lose heart:
We’ve hope to spare.
If the dark nights
Press your innards
And your lungs
Beg for calm air,
Don’t forget:
Love’s everywhere.

Be Uncovered
May the heart of life be open
To the light
And may the truth of human
Goodness
Be uncovered.
May false layers
Of defended animosity
Peel away the
Pretended differences
And empty superiorities
That aim to keep
Empathy
From taking hold.
May the heart of love
Be open.
May humanity find way
To the universally
Innate
Imperative
Unending
Veracity
Of hope.

Panic’s Anti-Dote
photo: dreamaker2.tumblr.com
There’s scare aplenty
Wide cause for alarm
A lot to frown at
Much that charters harm.
No wonder
Panic comes.
Trepidation pushes buttons of old worries
Latches through the tentacles
Of history
And ill-used charm.
It glitters daggers
Into
Masquerading stars and sun.
No wonder
Panic comes.
And yet …
Be brave
Stand firm
Lock arms
Form links
Knit facts
Raise voice
Weave hope
As panic’s anti-dote.

Spin a Yarn
Spin a yarn of wonder
Knit together words of hope
Cords of every color
Loop so hearts may cope.
Weave a warm new cover
From yarn old and fine
Find ways to discover
The love intertwined.

Breathe in
Breathe in the scent of spring
The fragrance of new growth
Of verdant leaves
Of rain
Of flowers.
Let new life fill your lungs
Your heart
With light
Perfumed by sun
And sky
And sudden showers.
Breathe in your fill
Of hope
Of splendor
Stock up your mind
With awe
To brighten
Any dreary hour.

See Through
- Photo: Borzui.tumblr.com
Not all that shows outside, is what may be within.
Not all reflection knows the spirit
Light or dark or dim.
Be kind to those whose face is blank.
Be kind to those whose face speaks more.
You never know
The depth of life
That simmers, yearns, below.
