Smells of rain on sidewalks,
Of sun soaking up water droplets
And evaporating them into wind,
Of atmospheric changes.
Visions of budding leaves
Here and there enlivening
The winter-scape which begins
Its fade into spring tide.
Here and there enlivening
The winter-scape which begins
Its fade into spring tide.
A glimpse of spring, a glimpse of
Happiness, playfulness, and joy
Peeking through the unfolding leaves
Of the flowering fruit trees.
Happiness, playfulness, and joy
Peeking through the unfolding leaves
Of the flowering fruit trees.
Memories of a JerusalemLit. City of peace From the time of David to the Roman destruction, Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and the spiritual and governmental center of the Jewish people. During the long exile, Jews longed to return to Jerusalem and wrote poems, prayers, and songs about the beloved city. In 1967, with the capture of the Old City, Jerusalem was reunited, becoming "the eternal capital of Israel." Still, the longing for peace is unfulfilled. hillside
Like flowing floating yards and yards of
Swiss dotted fabric blooming into
A multitude of blossoming almond flowers.
Like flowing floating yards and yards of
Swiss dotted fabric blooming into
A multitude of blossoming almond flowers.
With the tithing of the trees,
And the flowing of the sap,
With the lengthening of days,
Comes the celebration of life.
And the flowing of the sap,
With the lengthening of days,
Comes the celebration of life.
