And the boats
Took a break,
Let the oars
Catch their breath
And the dock
Pat their bows.

Heart Memories
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Good friends to me,
To each other,
Their hearts and souls
Brimming love.
A decade passed
Since this photo,
And both had grown
Angel wings.
Sweet moments
Of memories
That won’t ever
Depart.
Dedicated to Kathryn and Carol, forever thankful to have known you. You are forever in my heart.

No Sale
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
The child gawked at the offers,
Little jaw dropped agape:
Who put Elmo in icing?
Why would anyone want
His best friend to bake?
The boy’s eyes traveled upwards,
Rounded wide at the shelf:
How did Ernie and Bert
End up stuck into cakes?
Can you pull out poor Oscar?
Can Big Bird escape?
This won’t do for my party
I want ice cream instead.

Angels’ Winds
Photo: Karen Forte
The air pristine
On angels’ winds,
Unspoiled by what
Mans’ hands can bring.
In feathered clouds
And oceans’ swing,
It heralds surf
Of joy within,
To mark the waves
With dance that gleams,
And breathes along
A song to sing
For all that dreams.

Thankful Still
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Thankful still for life’s living
Thankful still
For the hope
That each breath that’s drawn in
Can begin
And can bring.
Thankful still, if hadn’t always
For the ebb
And the flow
Of small joys and big sorrows
As they come
And they go
As we grow
And we know.

Fall Friends

Side by side
They keep near
In the wind
In the rain.
Limb to limb
They hold hands,
Close company
They maintain.
Friends in all
Friends in fall.

Cold Edge
Photo: Amitai Asif
At the fringe of the habitable
Where the ice kisses sky,
And the black rock remembers
Lava’s wrath, ashes’ sigh,
The cold wraps hands around hearts
To reach deep and warmth pry.

Guarded
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Sentinels
Set in stone
Guard gates of
This temple zone.
Come to leave
You must pass
By these guards
From the past,
Who protect it
Perhaps
From time’s
Inevitable collapse.

Pensive Park
Photo: Philip Coons
In a park, on a lawn, by a
Trail
This board aimless wander
Curtails,
And the question it
Raises
Brings along varied
Phrases.
What would your heart
Assign
If you saw such a
Sign?

Rapids
Photo: Adi RozenZvi
And the waters
Rushed
Over slicked rocks
Into ravines.
Deafening the song
Of birds,
And burbling of
Fish,
Into thunder
Mist
As the bamboo
Creaked.
