The Thoughts Within

A question
A conversation
A word
All provoke

An eye
A smile
A touch
All evoke

A tree
A fruit
A sea
All enthuse

A walk
A ride
A new place
All enthuse

You, Me
She, He

They, Us
All arouse

My muse is she
My stimulation is she
My revelation is she
All bring out the thoughts within

She is the earth
She is the moon
She is the people
She is life
She is everyday.

I Washed My Feet On The Shores Of Haifa

A midnight drive

A moonlit sky

An embrace between friends

I’m going to wash my feet on the shores of Haifa

A morning coffee

A warm breakfast

Conversations of stones built long ago

I’m going to wash my feet on the shores of Haifa

A circle of friends

A march of color

A tree to hug

I am going to wash my feet on the shores of Haifa

A walk on the beach

A long conversation

A discovery of friends

I’m washing my feet on the shores of Haifa

A child’s laughter

A meal of fish out of sea

A sunset from the old walls of Akka

I’ve washed my feet on the shores of Haifa

Another city away

A mustache or two of fun

A meeting of strangers

I’ve washed my feet on the shores of Haifa

A laugh, a smile, a twinkle in the eye

An inking on the heel

A sad goodbye

I’ve washed my feet on the shores of Haifa

A thought

An impulse

A reality

I washed my feet on the shores of Haifa

Neptune Calling

Ever seductive
Ever powerful
Your call is constant
I stand at your feet
A slave.

Listening to your whispering surf
White foam gurgling at my feet
I want to heed your call
I want to fall at your feet
I want to walk into your depths
I want to keep walking
In to your welcoming barnacles.

I can feel your waters engulf me
And your tentacles embrace me
As I am pulled down into your liar
In your throne, at the depths of the ocean
An eternal sleep at your feet.

Though your seduction is complete
I will not heed
I will not take that first step
If I do it will be the last
If I do I will walk until I am yours.

Oh mighty Neptune
Why do you call?
It is not my time yet
I cannot fall, even though I want to
I cannot be one with you yet.

Though you call oh mighty Neptune
I am still in the land of the living
I walk amongst them
Your lure is not for me
not tonight at least.
