GRAYHAIRED FLAKEHEADS

The rain, weed-wed,
has
multiplied
these
gray haired flakeheads
and now

dandelion seeds float in the air..
by the Bubble Blower sent aloft..
which ones will mystically touchdown..
to root in our hearts?

NOT IN CHAOTIC SHARDS

Not in chaotic shards
do dandelion seeds
burst from their ball.
Each part as perfect
as the whole.
Each each contains
the all.

ABSALOM

Oh Absalom
Oh Absalom
we will not bid you
goodbye
but say shalom
as your father learns
the ways of peace

NORTH AND SOUTH

If Absalom had cut
his hair it would not
have caught on the branches
of a tree.
If Samson had not cut
his hair he would not
have lost strength
to Delilah's wiles.
For each soul God
has a different path.

MARVIN KATZ

He expanded so many
from affection
for dogs and cats
to a love encircling
all beings..
did Marvin Katz

FIRE IN THEIR EYES

She could see
by the new fire
in their eyes
that she had lit
their souls

.. and yet
had not diminished
her own flame

to Betty Friedan and to Doris Haddock, Granny D, who at the age of 90 walked 3000 miles across the US to bring about clean $ in America http://www.grannyd.com

THE TORAH SAYS TO FEED ANIMALS FIRST

The Torah
says to feed ones
animals before
oneself.
They are voiceless
and need help
in bringing food
down from the shelf.

**
to D and H Newman who follow this command in their lives.

DAVID SPITZ

Only the maker can make
the shoe.
Only the wearer
can tell if it fits.
This is the argument
for democracy..
said to his students
David Spitz.

* Dr Spitz taught his students that
the US Senate, Supreme Court, and
United Nations were inherently undemocratic.

DAVID'S MERCY TO GOLIATH

We know not the fruit's hue
from that of the bloom.
Gold tomato blossoms
become red spheres.
The pointed yellow star
becomes the linga
of the cucumber.
The red blood of Nazi
camp suffering
has been transmuted in
most..
to an awesome forgiveness.

By this mercy
did David
convert
the heart of Goliath

ELOHIM

He needn't reach the stars..
stars' light reached to him..
He needn't climb to God.
Inside him ..... Elohim.

HEARTREMAKER

Some are heartbreakers
She is a heartremaker.

INDELICATESSEN

Sheep eyes, corned beef from the muscles,
salami from the intestines,
lamb stew with blood brew..
Not a deli
but an indelicatessen

PAINTER ONE WITH HIS PAINTING

The painter's smock is daubed
with the pastels of his palate.
He has become one with his painting.
While his portrait is concentrated
and Virgo specific
his abstract smock is light-full
and Pisces pacific.

JEWISH UNHUNTER

God's lightning cleaved
the heaven's asunder..
and out of them
She spake in thunder...

There is no such
thing
as a Jewish hunter!

YEHUDI MENUHIN

Released from clouds
by peasized dry ice
were thousands of pounds
of snow wedding rice.

Released from clouds
by wee tips of forked lightning
the rain's awesome downpour
.. sky sighed in lightening

The kiss of King Charming
Sleeping Beauty sparked
Total love's touch
to Beloved arced.

The words of the rabbi
resound in the mind
Guru shaktipat
forever opes crown.

The sun's rays
wand alive the iris
Waterdrops waken
the starseeds of Isis.

The notes of
Menuhin's
heartsky piercing violin
cause frozen tears
of pain
uncontrolled to rain.

Shaktipat: Over 20,000 year old Sanskrit word for the touch of the guru which awakens the thousand petaled lotus or the crown chakra.. Yehudi Menuhin was a vegetarian who worked for peace many decades..

HEART ARK

Heark! Heark!
I speak of the
ark
of my friend's heart
Unlike Noah's
it contains all beings
every cockroach
every lark

to Jan F

MOSES ROD IN EACH

Omnipotent God
can cause any rod
to strike fountains
from stone mountains
or the waters of love
which dwell in each heart

WANDERING JEW

The plant
of wandering Jew
has added more
leaves
to his tome
of poems
.. they
are of purple print
on pages of lime
