The weak breeze whispers nothing
the water screams sublime.
His feet shift, teeter-totter
deep breaths, stand back, it’s time.
Toes untouch the overpass
soon he’s water-bound.
Eyes locked shut but peek to see
the view from halfway down.

My heart is in the east,
and I am in the distant west.
How can I taste what I eat,
and how can it be sweet?
How can I fulfill by vows and oaths,
as long as Zion is in the chains of Edom,
and I am in the binds of the... – by Judah Halevi | 278 Views added 2 years ago

At the dawn I seek Thee,
Rock and refuge tried,
In due service speak Thee
Morn and eventide.
‘Neath Thy greatness shrinking,
Stand I sore afraid,
All my secret thinking
Bare before Thee laid.
Little to Thy glory

I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

There was a man of double deed,
Who sowed his garden full of seed;
When the seed began to grow,
'Twas like a garden full of snow;
When the snow began to melt,
'Twas like a ship without a belt;
When the ship began to sail,
'Twas like a bird without a... – by Anonymous | 166 Views added 3 years ago

A heavy apple draws a full branch down with summer,
so it will know where to fall, an open hand grows up from the ground.

loaded heavy with juice and time and fermenting beams of... – by Abraham Sutzkever | 83 Views added 3 years ago

I’m thankful that we’re both alive at the same time,

And this is the ballad of my life: dipping bread
in salt at a banquet for my unseen guests from afar.
And when they are hailed on by clod of earth after clod of earth,

עוד חוזר הניגון שזנחת לשווא

האי הצף, האי הבודד
בלי תמונות כאלו ..לא הייתי שורד...
כמה פסטורלי ורגוע להתבונן
באיים ייחודיים שהאדם מתכנן.
כמה מאמץ השקעה (ואיזה עלות!)
אך לבנות אי צף, בים? נשמע כמו שטות!
יש כל כך הרבה מקום בעולם
ואנשים שצפים בייאוש... – by המשורר, אי שם בים הפתוח | 137 Views added 9 years ago

In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages

Calm as that moonbeam on the wall,
Sleep broods on baby's eyes;
Arms, hush'd and still, but pulsing quick,
Enfold him as he lies;
My brain is full of thronging thoughts,
Strange passions thrill my breast,
My heart aches with a load of love

In a shady nook
And the lullaby in silver
Of a lazy brook.
Light of night and midnight shadow
Falling from above
And the changing mood and magic

See those resplendent creatures, as they glide
O'er scarlet carpet, between footmen tall,
From sumptuous carriage to effulgent hall -
A dazzling vision in their pomp and pride!
See that choice supper - needless - cast aside -
Though worth a thousand... – by Ada Cambridge | 148 Views added 13 years ago
