Under big sky
Amid the sea
Big Buddha shows
The way to be
As people flock
Foreign and Thai
To pray for poise
In Wat Phra Yai.

Big As The Sky

In the corner of sunlight
And painted leaves dancing bright
Sparkle water
And bridges
Flowing through
Life’s insight.

Come on Sis
Let us peek
Through the slats
On this bridge
At the world
That flows through
Underneath
Me and you.

Fleecy Sky

When the clouds
Wrap the heavens
With fleece specs
Lined to dry,
Will the skies
Warm the living
With dappled light
From on high?

Pollinate Hope
Opuntia Flower (Photo: Amitai Asif)
In the prickliest places
Where the sun blazes hot
And the rain rarely stops
Lays a possible promise
For nectar
And hope.

Pink Perch

A pink perch
For the flutter
A brief pause
On the fly
For the moment
That lapses
As a breath
Passes by.

Be Heartened
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Take heart
Even when reality
Would bleed it dry
With injustice
And stale pride.
Be heartened
By the strength
Of those who wait out
The belligerent
And will not see
Truth and decency
Denied.

Liberty Sail
Photo: Inge Vandormael
So she stands in the harbor
Greeting weary souls’ sails.
Her eyes had welcomed
The many
Who fled war, harm, travail.
She faced cannons
Of hardship,
Wept as terror sought
To prevail.
She marks the better
We can be,
The stories nations
Can be proud
To tell.
Through many storms
In the harbor,
She lights the way
In the gale.
As hate now amplifies sorrow
Seeking to see her bounty
Curtailed,
She hopes her pledge ‘cross the ages
Won’t become one made
To no avail.

Heart View

As we hold endless heartache
Of scandal, war, crime, abuse
May we also remember
Gentler waves, kinder views;
So the holes rent by hardship
Will not make us refuse
To let pain become a window
To the good we can profuse.

Pink Remembering
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Spring recalls
How bushes previously bared
By frost and freeze,
Found a new lease
To bubble forth
A pink exuberance.
It is a good remembering
As fall emerges
To reclaim
The bushes’ leaves
Ahead of winter’s
Naked sleep.
