Sun, Where Are You?
Like love itself you represent life and peace, like a newborn cradled on mama’s knees, like the safest of havens, the brightest of dreams. You’re a beacon of light in the darkest of times. You are warmth and renewal when the world seems lost. With laser beams...

Yes, Fully Human
What if you were always only meant to be human. What if your existence comes with flaws and imperfections. Maybe should and must will bring you face to face with the dust. Maybe entering the arena won’t guarantee you’ll be a winner. What’s wrong with being ordinary, is...

Joy is a Moment
Joy is a moment, sixty seconds, bite sized. Joy is here, let’s receive it, it’s perfectly right sized. Joy is a reaction, a spontaneous attraction, to a new point of view. Joy is an insider, a new kind of pleasure, a new kind of you. Joy is a reunion, of love and pain, of loss and gain. Joy is a...

Unconditional Love
Through the chaos and uncertainty, the one familiar thing calls to me, from the night sky, with a heavenly ring. Beckoning, whispering someone is on my side, and I know it is up there where mysteries reside. A power greater than you, sees you, you are known. You are human, you’re...

The Light Inside
How do you hold shards of your heart without piercing your skin? Can you measure beats per minute when a million cracks are in it? Tell me, can a shattered heart shatter again? Tell me, can a heart of fragments matter again? Must I put this heart together piece by piece? Or can I let...

Bring Them Home
Time is a wicked thief Daylight, but the time is wrong Sunlit hours in an endless night Time, you are merciless Did you forget their names? How is this happening? Do you not hear their screams? Break the clock Flip the hourglass We’re running out of time We’ve got...

More a Human Being
Looms large In my front yard Fibrous roots Branches gnarled. Lady liberty With outstretched arms To weary hearts A soothing balm. Offers calm A steady presence Empowering image Enduring essence. She’s loyal, my tree Bears witness to me Partner in silence To my history. And when I’m running When I go, go, go She says Stay for a...

My Jewish Body
My Jewish body, is not an apology Sacred and whole, counterpart to my soul Wit and charm, no confession in hand Longing, forever belonging, to my promised land. Striking a dramatic pose Celestial, ancestral, she's powerful, she knows Her strength is legendary Her stamina grows. Inside this...

When Love Meets Pain
Where does one hide when the fires erupt? How does one breathe when the end is abrupt? How does one survive an onslaught of hurt? If this pain could talk my heart would burst. Who can comprehend this level of pain? Terror and horror...
