why, God?

can't you see the
tears flowing
like the Jordan
from these eyes
that You created?

why?

Adonai,
why has this shame
been cast upon me?

in this village You
placed me in, there
are a hundred
laughing children
in the arms
of every other woman.

am i alone put aside?

Lord,
you know how much
i love Your ways,
kept and followed
every command
since i was a girl,

let me love a child
for a little while,
let me suckle
a son to my breast
and i will give him
back to You.

Rapha,

let this prayer
fall like pure
soundless snow
from my lips

look down
upon Your servant,
look down
and remember her.

impressions left upon ground
digging deep into the earth
walk on the narrow path
journey alone, deep in the woods


warm air fills my lungs
                 deep breath in
and out
dandelion and snakeroot
    tickle my nose
and the ever present scent of
pine is underneath


             on then
first step          over fallen log
which has just begun to rot
rest
sip  fresh water and have
a protein bar


up ahead lie two gardens--
carefully planted
one yields potatoes, one nectar
a place for butterflies to dance


walk by the stream
    then head past pavilion
          finally go towards the car
dream and wait for another Saturday

hope
joyful
happiness
radiates through
a beautiful smile
as youngest child is told
the great news by her mother
tears begin to fill in her eyes
she hugs her teddy bear and whispers
can you believe it? the cancer is gone

slowly creeps towards heaven's lights
moon's smile is filled with her delight
shinning now so full and bright
love's in the night, love's in the night

at his lovely wife Darcy gazed
beauty, character he's amazed
on stone sitting at entrance's maze
catches her gaze, catches her gaze

off of the bench she starts to rise
Helen looks into amber eyes
small blush, devotion amplifies
with love she sighs, with love she sighs

lifting dress, then running with grace
laughing now he begins to chase
catching up, their bodies embrace
hedges encase, hedges encase

petal path
of purest red
roses lain on ground
sweet fragrance teases
as she walks on the buds
heading towards her handsome prince
she is pure and full of grace
finally reaching journey's end
there are champagne glasses
honeymoon begins

stretching, greet dawn
with great yawn rise
the lawn to ****
and plant seed tree
next knead bread and brew some tea

in crystal does she reside
frozen, she will abide
until the time he finds a cure
body will not mature
timeless until he succeeds
she is his wife-- Nora Freeze
