the day of the dead

the tulips have barely brought blossom,

another spring without beginning,

another winter without forgiveness,

yeshuah in the dark earth,

is the peace of g-d descending?

another place with no story,

how deep do these blades of grass shutter,

into the flesh of mortals,

a slow reaping of sorrow.

where is the g-d today?

where is the sun today?

still no grace to the cold of tomorrow,

i breathe the memory, a lightening lung,

the silence still humility.

The Love of Netzach

What does it mean to Endure?

The healing trip of two people wounded

And bound by the Eternal, One

Love.

Some say love is healing,

But love takes endurance~netzach

To wake up loving someone

Everyday, even when they’re

Difficult,

Intolerable,

Irrational,

Unwilling

is hard work.

To stay when nothing you want is happening.

To believe when nothing you wish is becoming.

To wait for some parts that may never appear.

What does it mean to Endure my love?

To push it through the finish line?

Sweating,

Feeling the lungs collapse, the breath harden,

As if there was some prize at the finish line.

Perhaps to endure is,

To hold the glory of,

I made it to the end,

That was impossible,

But I pushed my limits,

I did it,

That’s the metaphor of the kind of love

G-d responds to.
