And The New Year Begins

 

 

Today horizontal lines
meet the vertical
at the right angle of emotion

There you will
reach out to me
through clouded glass

My heart
will be a passenger
in the two-seater
of imagination and memory

Today we will commune
in a truly timeless moment
through the window
of love


and the New Year begins…

Author's Note

The Jewish New Year of 5774 begins tomorrow night. May the year be kind to my family and friends. I wish all who celebrate good health and the sweetness of peace in your lives.
