Lag B'Omer Poem
will it take
for us to
find
each other?
Are you near me
almost under my nose
or are there oceans
vast and deep
literally and figuratively
between us?
Have we met?
Have we seen
each other
not knowing
but deriving pleasure
from the thrill
of that possibility?
How will we know?
By something
you ( I )
say?
A gesture, a comment
I ( you )
make?
Can you imagine how
it will be?
How we will
help
one another
grow?
How I will be
your strength
Faithful
Always
constant and consistent
And you
will complete me
cloaking my prose
with your melody
Poetry e-motion...
Do you yearn
as I yearn
are you tired of waiting
as I am?
I thought so...
See you soon...

New Poem
g-d is amazing
let me tell you why
he created us - HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ginormous
monstrously massive
and then
He squished us into this tiny (FREAKIN ANNOYING) little body
can you imagine anything more cruel than a huge entity being compressed into a tiny space, with no room to breath, nowhere to move, no space to experience freedom?
so what did He do?
He gave us a brain and a heart
a gateway into our soul
a portal out of our soul
hashem gave us these gross slimy organs so our soul could breath, find room to move and most importantly experience freedom......
now.. why do I say all this?
because my soul's been feeling squished
compressed
constricted by layers upon layers of fears and thoughts and skin and sins and earth and dirt and dollars and inhibitions and sadness and uncertainty
and today
clarity
my soul, through a tiny entryway found its way out
projecting brilliantly, and beautifully empowering ideas
radiating with life
freeing it
and
now i feel
like
i can breath
once again.
ideas,
and
or
feelings
can save us
when we're drowning
and i think mine just did...

The Tunnel
They were walking
Through a dark tunnel
With just a faint flashlight
In their hand.
Looking for the exit,
They kept going and going.
But the tunnel
Appeared endless.
Worry fell on them.
Is there an exit?
Their quest continued.
And still no exit.
They thought about
Giving up but knew however
That they must keep going.
And so they kept going.
Finally, a light shone
From afar and lit up their hope.
As they came closer,
It became brighter.
