and the dog had to go
And so I went
Just Benjy, me, and the freeze
Wow!
Waves of wind on the snow
Waves of mountains on the ground
A beautiful harmony in the silence of sound
So blessed to have this dog
We call him Benjy!

Say “66” I said to her, as I put my ear to her warm chest.
“Please whisper this magic number,” I asked her with the most gentle voice I could muster.
“What did you say?” she muttered in her ancient voice.
“Whisper the words “66”” I repeated.
Not what you all thought.
For these are the magic numbers of whispering pectoriloquy,
identifying water in the chest with stethoscope on ear.
For me at this birthday I would rather be on Highway 66 than on the receiving end of the call for Whispering Pectoriloquy,
And of course not on the dead end of Highway 66,
but on the open highway.
To continue on this miracle journey we call life.
Thank you all for your welcome birthday wishes – I need all that I can get!

A Love Poem from the Tree to the Cloud
To my dearest Cloud
You are so far
Yet so near and dear to me
I often dream what it may be like
To touch you
For one precious moment
To have you in my arms
And caress your delicate face
And when I awake
I realize it is but a dream
That can never come true
Sometimes you look lean and mean
And you stand vertical like a spear
And sometimes horizontal like 100 arrows shot at once
But most the time you have soft sensuous and voluptuous curves
Moving slowly and lovingly through the heavens
Me?
I am what I am
And only change
with the coming and going of the seasons
Just a little bigger as I grow older
You on the other hand
Change your form as well as your position in the heavens
From second to second
Each time, a form more beautiful and unique
I love your unpredictability
Your color also changes with your mood
And the time of day
You look most passionate and fiery
When the sun wakes up and goes to bed
This is the time when I love you best
I often dream what it may be like
To touch you
For one precious moment
To have you in my arms
And caress your delicate face
And when I awake
I realize it is but a dream
That can never come true
Whoa! –
Wait a moment !!…
The rain and the snow!
They are you!
And they touch me in so many ways
The blanket of snow when I am naked
The delicate rain when I am in need
They caress and moisten me from without and within
I am filled with your love for me
And I for you.
Oh what would I do without you my dearest cloud
You are my life
You are my love
We will be together forever!

Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won’t give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That far away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won’t settle down, won’t settle for less
As long as there’s a chance that I can have it all
I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
I can’t be right for somebody else
If I’m not right for me
I gotta be free, I’ve gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I’ve gotta be me
I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
I can’t be right for somebody else
If I’m not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

From the Series – “Art of the Clouds” and dedication to Marilyn Monroe by Elton John -about the delicate soul and hidden pain
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

BREATH
a poem dedicated to my mother Joyce Stein Davidoff on the anniversary of her passing
Breath, it comes and goes.
And so we live and breathe
Until death do us part
And then it is gone.
Silently she suffered ongoing deformity
And ongoing joint pain for almost 40 years
Hands curled and fixed around the steering wheel of the Rover
She drove us everywhere and for everything,
From the dance halls to the rugby fields
to math lessons and music halls.
Coming and going.
Her boys were always on her mind.
What a Mother she was!
And then it descended
Coming and going was not easy.
Neither was her breath
And then it came again
And did not go away.
She made it from Johannesburg to London
To the comfort of the home and family of big brother Baruch and loving Rahel
To the warmth and support of a welcoming Chabad community
Rosh Hashana was imminent
And she waited.
Her two other sons were coming from America
And she waited.
I slept in her bed the night before
Both of us curled and connected in fetal position.
I tried to hold the oxygen tube close to her nose
Trying to ease the coming and going of breath.
And she kept on pushing me away:
“Why is it so hard to die?”
There was no sleep that night.
The next morning she took her last breath
And her boys rushed to her side.
Breath, it comes and goes.
And so we live and breathe
Until death do us part
And then it is gone.
In rushed the rabbi at that poignant moment.
“Did you say the shema? Did you recite the shema?” he implored.
We held each other, and with broken voices and tears running down our faces:
“Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad”
A prayer to Oneness
One miraculous last huge and defiant breath
Suddenly came and then went.
What a Mother she was!
Her spirit lives on.

Now that our morning meal is done,
Make haste, your morning task resign;
Come forth and feel the sun.
Then come, my Sister! come, I pray,
With speed put on your woodland dress;
And bring no book: for this one day
We’ll give to idleness.

Lichen on a tree stump in the shape of an owl and a pussy cat
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat
BY EDWARD LEAR
I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
“O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!”
II
Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?”
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
III
“Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

(click to hear music)
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains

The Story of The Orange Packet – a lost soul in fetal position with an orange packet in hand, and nobody to help him out
I took this picture to show to a policeman down the road whom I was hoping would provide some assistance for this poor man. I got a shrug of the shoulders and was told he was just sleeping it off. I wondered to myself if a dog was found in the same situation if it would have been neglected in the same way.

The fall fell in a pond near here
And I fear and hear that winter is near
“Here here!” they say “the winter is near”
And so I can only feel what I felt that day
Just a few days before the fall fell..
In the glorious warmth of the mellows of yellow
“Hear hear” they say
“The yellows are mellow”
And now all we have left
Is the green of the evergreen .
All the other leaves are brown, and on the ground
