GREATER VISION





GREATER VISION

- Joy Krauthammer  ©


The very morning 
I discovered "Elderwomen Musings" 
inspired, my vision extended
to the mountain beyond the mountain
a scene I had never before seen.

Edith, 89 year old dear friend 
at 7 am 
called to tell me
her home's interior 
was infused in pink
from the sky
I went outside 
to look
I saw another world
mountain behind mountain
revealed.

and for Elderwomen Musings)

GRAPEFRUIT GENERATIONS



GRAPEFRUIT GENERATIONS

- Joy Krauthammer ©


grapefruit generations 
visible together
at the same time;
such joy
in my garden

this citrus tree
one of two,
I planted
for my daughter
32 years ago
to celebrate
her 2nd birthday
brings me great bounty
to share
I am grateful

(written for Tu B'Shvat, birthday of the trees,
and for Elderwomen Musings)

 (I hope you see the tiny baby grapefruits.)
