Nothing, Nil, Zero.
 

Boundaries encircled emptiness
heart with no soul and
void filled mind

Drowning in nothingness
voiceless words in
air of haziness echo

Staring blankly into
white halos of no illumination
Bottomless lethargy
immovable notions idle.

Loss and Diminishments

Listen to the bird songs
Of silence.
See the flowing river
So dry.
Look above where blue
Used to be.
See the trees of green.
Now grey.
Listen to the wind
Now still.
See the beauty
Now unsightly.
Look toward the Heavens
Where it used to be.

Years Ago I was sinking.

Years ago I was sinking
in deep, sullen despair.
to the gutter
I was the bar stools companion.

Matrimony Maternity Menopause
All have similar implications.
Conveying regret
dilemma, frustration and melancholy.

You came from nowhere
lifted me
to heights way above the air.
You saved my life, my liver
and my dignity.

My Dream

ODED FEHR

He stood behind me
with adoring eyes
roses extended
How could I refuse.
