As A Poem Leads To Other Poems

As a poem leads to other poems
A life leads to other lives -
A poem is a branch
And a life a tree
And words and lives
Destinies.

The poem of Pesach is Freedom-
Freedom from slavery,
Freedom from idols,

as example to Mankind.

I Cannot Remember /The Poem I Did Not Write

I CANNOT REMEMBER/ THE POEM I DID NOT WRITE

I cannot remember
The Poem I did not write
However I try
I remember -
Only my own Life.

My Poems Are My Confession

MY POEMS ARE MY CONFESSION

My poems are my confession
No one else need read -
And yet without their readers
What can my poems mean?

This Vast Cosmos

THIS VAST COSMOS

This vast Cosmos we’re livin in
I think its Quite Extreme
Every star too hot or cold
And not much in- between.

I Have Written My Life Away

I HAVE WRITTEN MY LIFE AWAY

I look up at the sky-
I have written my life away-
Sadness pains-
I will not be able to begin again.

I Live To Write A Poem

I LIVE TO WRITE A POEM

I live to write a poem
And if I cannot write a poem?
I still live
But then
What is life and poetry to me?

There is too much Beauty

THERE IS TOO MUCH BEAUTY

There is too much Beauty
For us to wholly see-
Our ordinary eyes
Feast daily
on Abundances
unperceived.

Why Should We Worry/What Will Become Of Us?

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY

Why should we worry
What will become of us?
For the end of the end of everything
In God Alone we need trust.

The Silence Of A Poem

THE SILENCE OF A POEM

The Silence of a Poem
Brings Peace.
One is alone for a moment
With a few small words
And they help one live.
