GLORY AND JOY

- Joy Krauthammer

Swath of saturated orange color

brushed high in the sky 

and spread strangely across.

I call my 90 year old neighbor
to share this divine delight

knowing she is up early 

and her daughter is away. 

As sun rises with my call

I won't awaken daughter.

This morning Edith calls me back 

tells me that the quiet color of pink 

although pale, covered in light fog

is surprisingly seen in the west,

"but not like yesterday's colors"

(that I missed while asleep…)
she reminds me.

Edith and I share passion

for G*d's early morning palette,

and brush strokes in the western winds.

When color is high in the sky

I call and alert Edith

her view misses the low eastern horizon.

What fun to share the Glory and joy

between Edith and me.

Last night we immersed ourselves 

in stunning narrow striations of illuminated orange,
deep blue and fuchsia with hues of purple

repeated intense color bands in the sky

across entire western horizon.
For a better view I drove toward the mountain.

Flaming colors felt like my long cotton scarf

I wore as I rode a camel
in wind-blown desert sands of blazing Moroccan Sahara.

Was easy to crawl out

from my tiny tent,
speechless, in awe, alone
to view these comparable colors of pure joy.

Sahara sand dunes and Santa Suzana Mountains
appear similar against the painted night and morning skies.

I AWAIT THE SUN

I  AWAIT THE SUN


- Joy Krauthammer


A blessing

this early morn

sunrise

shining bright white light

narrow horozontal rim

top edging

thickly layered dark rain clouds

above and beyond

the Valley's mountains.

I AM IN AWE
Before Dawn

I am in Awe

With gratitude
saying my prayers
I stand barefoot
on the cold grass
at the furthest edge
of my garden.

I have arisen
with the early morning
to greet the Light
to watch G*d’s colors
paint the sky.

Even the mountains
encircling my San Fernando Valley
are visible, twinkling clear.
They frame
my favorite purples and pinks
across the blue
on the horizon.

From my hillside
the colors I see transform
through the tall pine trees
which did not block my view
twenty-five years ago.

Strangely, and I confirm
with my compass
this transparent, art happening
miracle of the Holy One
is in the south.

Maybe G*d’s breath
has blown and swept the sun
from the east.

Ah, there she is,
bright sun
rising in the east
peeking through
revealed through
my apricot tree’s
changing colors leaves.

Now inside, the early light
shining through my window
makes translucent
the purple petals
of the bearded irises.

I am in awe.
