The broken ice
In shards
Of glass,
Pierces to melt
A pond’s
Cold heart.

Head up high
Glint in eye
Naga guards
Path to sky
Lest passers by
Go awry.

Life’s Elixir

In the cradle of life
Where all breathing
Begins
Rocks the ebb
Of all else
That we are
Deep within.

Haphazard Town
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
One does not need a plan
To get lost
In this new town
She thought
Right before
She did.
For The Weekend Writing Prompt: Haphazard
Dedicated to my friend F.C. who at least had the wherewithal to call the local cavalry …

She Could Not Believe Her Eyes

She could not believe her eyes
As the path forked into surprise
And the end of trail became
Just step one into the game
Long the day stretched on ahead
Hours left for them to tread.

Parched No More
Photo: Ofir Asif
Rare drops join
To overflow
Silt and mud
On the go
Desert lands
Scoured so
A stream bed
Parched no more.
For the Wits End photo challenge: Moving water
Dedicated to the potential for life that desert rains bring … and to the young souls who were lost in a flash flood earlier this year.

In The Weald
Photo: Inbar Asif
Tucked away in the weald
They heard a lone
Fairy sing
Of the flowers she weaves
And the whispers of leaves
Of old blooms
And new blues
And the elves in the yews.
Merriam-Webster’s word for August 9, 2018:

Long Unseen

As the stories unfold
Pried from time’s
Stranglehold
Bit by bit
You’ll behold
What the fingers
Of old
Would have seen
Could have told.

Blue Lass
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Does she yet
In the tower
Await
For the draw
Of a knight
In the simmering
Light,
Or do blue
Evenings
Now pass
Inked by
No pining
Lass?

Musical Muse
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
They emerge deep at night
To play tunes out of sight
Giants, trolls, hoards of sprites
To the bridge they alight
Where they’ll sing till first light.
If you listen, you might
Catch a tune fleeting bright
Ode to sax stuck upright.
For the A Photo A Week Challenge: Music
