Building A Poem
- Joy Krauthammer
Could
'building' be
one brick
at a time
as
progress is
one step
at a time?
Baby
steps for success
sometimes
are essential.
A
foundation, an intention.
Steps go
further,
deeper,
higher.
Steps in
the mind
action
heart.
My
sister's health improves
she takes
one step
at a time.
Don't
look back.
I remind
my sister
G*D is
with you.
She
reminds me
"ABC
Always be careful
Always
be conscious."
Alphabet
is
the
building
of a
poem.
My sister
builds a new life.
She is a
poem.
II
I learn
the new iMac,
my senior
challenge
one step
at a time.
Daughter
warned me
"Mom,
don't do it.
It's a
learning curve."
I kvell with
my new
computer
photo creations.
Will
these moments' words
be my
first poem
on my new
computer?
A Shehecheyanu moment
like
G*d's sunrise painting.
Is
building as
a poem
is
a word at
a time?
Relationships
killed, not built
with
wrong words.
Or is a
poem
a visual
image?
and not a
word at all.*
Can a
poem be a photo?
what you
see
in one
shot
and
touches your soul.
Photo of
a building
steps up,
sunrise
shot
as G*d
paints
and
builds
a new day
for us to
build upon
beginning
with
fiery
praise
and
grateful prayer,
hearing
G*d's words, Shema,
and then
action, Mitzvot.
Baruch
Hashem, I build
in Four
Worlds,
Spirit,
Mind, Heart, Body.

(Magritte painted
Ceci n'est pas une pipe.
An image is not the thing itself.
What does the Eiffel Tower
represent?
Is building a 'pipe dream'?)
BlesSings
for building, health, wholeness, shalom and joy.
