Look at that thing
With the wings,
Can it fly
Or can it sing?
Should we poke it?
Better not.
Press the fence
That keeps out tots.

Earth’s Meditation
Photo: Kadri Vosumae on Pexels.com
“Do you know?” she asked,
Ankles deep in gold leaves.
“Do you know what the earth
meditates upon in autumn?”
“Ask the acorns,” he said.
“Query the roots of the trees.”
“Would they not,” she returned,
“Tell only their thoughts?
Would they hear the earth’s song
Over that of their seed?”
“Ask the squirrels, then,” he sighed
Rake in hand, a wind urging
His work to proceed.
“Or the sky, or the clouds
Or your own heart
Beneath that old tweed.
Ask the earth
As it speaks to the autumn,
While the soles of your feet
Fill these bags
Top to bottom.”

In Contrast
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
The days stretch on
In sun and shade,
Highlighting the contrast
To the lifespan of
A butterfly,
Its new wings splayed
In the warmth
To dry.
And I wonder
What the ancient rock thinks,
In contrast,
Of the human
Lifespan
Fleeting by.

Vintage Ride

As you rumble along
Under skies
Blue like song,
Do you travel
Afar
To the past
In this car?
What new memories
You’d share
Of what’s found
Over there?
Do days gone
Still speed on
Scene by scene
Gray and green
By the glean
Of your machine?

This Little Light

This little light
That shines
This little light
So fine
This little hand
Aglow:
May your wonder
In wonder
Grow.

Wonder On

May we never stop to wonder.
May we never lose a dream.
May the image in our spirit
Find its way into our realm.
May the fairies that can flutter
In our younger, fresher soul,
Move forth awe and harvest marvel
To grow us closer to our whole.

Temporarily Forever
Photo: Amitai Asif
The tender bloom stays but few days
Yet made of atoms forged
In times
Before eons,
And will remain
As it transforms
To almond, seed, tree, earth, person:
All life’s
Ions.

For you.
No proxy

Difficult, Not Impossible
Even in the midst of doubt
hold on to possible.
Even on the edge of canyons
of reasons to the contrary
of nay saying and denial
hold on to hope
for balance.
Nature teaches:
It is difficult, not impossible.

Tenderness
May tenderness infuse your heart
In every turn you take
May warmth envelope every day
And soften all your cares
May awe and joy flow in your soul
Like sunbeams in the air
May your see caring, everywhere.
It is already there.
