life

Lilypads drifting like humans in this bluish-green marble of a world

Inner workings concealed but known, yet we know absolutely nothing

Flowing circle of life means death, birth, life, but what's it all for?

Every life, I've come to understand, is nothing but a dream

  • The East Wind

    The East Wind is a rabbi in a darkened shul. He sits pored over the Torah scroll long into the night, his back bent like a cane. People come and go and come again, whispering prayers for the needy, the hungry, the sick.

  • hoping for snow

    I walk home wearing twin braids with bows

    and a big smile because I'm wishing for snow.

    Snow like a blanket, thick and white,

    I want it to fall all through the night -

    to cover the roads and the trees and the hills,
