Smile: 'L'chaim, ' To Life!
Smile, hide aches
Smile, look kinder
Smile, be younger
Your face heaven yonder.
Smile, beauty of heart
Rips brokenness inside
As light from heaven mends
Healing threads descend.
Smile, a new life, smile
Smile, “L'chaim, ” to life!

A Short Exam
1.
I am thinking of me
And you
And our future together
Or:
Your future alone
My future alone
In separate ways
A question:
Which is better?

Celestial Coming
I held on tight to the clouds
last night, when
your mouth embraced my mouth
each breath adored my soul.
I felt calmness in autumn
last night, when
your eyes sought
mourned each falling leaf.
Shadow and light pressed limb after limb, wind
shuddered waves

Picture Verses
1.
God looks down and lifts us on his hands.
2.
Here reminds me of our vow
Only me
In front of the altar
Kneeling for you
3.
He waits
To rest after a day’s work
I would like to chat
And ask what makes him happy
And still -
If I could hold his hands

Grief Is Never Having To Say I Grieve
Your grief has been too heavy
I don’t know how much grief buries you down
Please let me weep with you
Please let me weep with you
Like the others, I adore you for keeping up with life
I could imagine how you cry in your thoughts
How like blade, grief cuts your heart, your throat,
the top of your skull - slowly
Like wars in history, there are no exits
and there are no choices

Waiting for Autumn
WAITING FOR AUTUMN
In my place, autumn comes near Christmas
Far less of the day and more of the night
I have always longed to see it
The leaves of autumn and its gloom
Cry with me. The sky
Its golden and orange color
Speak of my soul
In autumn are times my heart seeks for you
I can hear your breath
In the circles of fog that color the wind
When your eyes meet with mine
It speaks a language we both couldn’t understand
But of efflorescence of dawn in the coals that fade
In the calm of autumn

A Promise and Clothes of Time
September 9,2010
1.
The first thing to do is burst
My heart, my soul, my mind
The tiny breath of life let blow, let flow
In the sublime gift of sky wind and water
My feet arising from the ocean’s bottom
Will walk the waves of the earth and stones,
The galaxy my playground
I will run in both ends of North and South
