There are eons of old
Set in stone
Pressed in rock.
Do you hear them
Or not
Do you know
What you’re told
Can you feel part of all
That had gone
And which may
Or may not
Come along
To live on?

Glint and Shine

May the light
Spark the day
Glinting awe
On its way.
May the waves
Hug the sand
As your heart
Understands.

It’s a Zoo!

“It’s a zoo over there!”
She exclaimed. Out of breath.
Cheeks still red from the stairs
And the cold evening air.
“It’s a zoo in the store.
It’s a zoo in the park.
It’s a zoo … at the zoo,”
Her smile grew.
She cracked up.
Couldn’t stop.
Her delight
Only matched
By the first time she ‘got’
“Slipped my mind” meant forgot.

One Way

There is one way to go
‘Cross life’s streams
As it were:
Take the dare
Stay aware
Fingers crossed
Everywhere.

Knit and Purl

Knit the yarn
Click and purl
Weave and braid
Loop and curl
Blanket beds
Shelter heads
From the cold
Up ahead.

Heart Percussion

May the percussion of your heart
Beat not staccato in your core
But breathe legato in your soul
To sing vibrato to your whole.

No Underdog!
Little Roo. Photo: Marnie Russ
The runt of the litter. The smallest of smalls.
A birth’s afterthought. The last of the lot.
She was given some frowns.
She was given less hope.
She was not much to look at.
A long shot, underdog.
Yet inside her she had something fierce
At her core
She was never the winner
But she was something more:
She worked harder than hard
She learned patience from woe
She grew up,
She believed
She perceived and she saw,
She found footholds in smiles
She made steps from each praise
She climbed up rungs of hardship
Found her stride
Found her ways
To amaze.

With Both Hands

Clutch today
With both hands
Hold on well
Live with heart.
It is one
Of a kind
And will soon
Sail right past
As the hours
Melt light
And the sunset
Departs.

Do Not Feed The Gremlins
Photo: A. Asif
Do not feed the gremlins,
The worries
The woes
Do not feed the problems,
The myriad of “No”s.
Feed instead shoots of hope
Tender hearts
Ways to cope,
Feed the thanks
And the kindness,
Feed the soul
Evermore
With all things
Grateful
For.
11/27/2017 Update: This poem has been put into music by the talented composer Maggie Bell. Enjoy!

Have Mercy
Photo: Inbar Asif
Have mercy
For those who have not
For those who don’t know how
And weren’t taught.
Have mercy
For your own lost corners
Where the words of others
Might’ve carved a hole
That is yet to get darned
And still exacts a toll.
Have mercy
For your
Need to hope
You’d make your
Spirit
Whole.
