Jew # 17

Jeweled morning glows
Echoes of birds from the trees
Withering the night

Juice flows in flowers
Eternal sap of our love
Wellspring of our joy

Jars of honey brim
Erratic flies the loud bee
Woodlands rich in bloom

Just us on these sands
Erecting castles again
Wading in sunlight

Joy is a fresh tide
Eloping from the cracked moon
Wan upon the sky

Jerk the wet branches
Empty them of silver tears
While the robin sings

Jar day open wide
Embrace the new beginning
Water cleansed with light

Joy is a swallow
Energized in clips of rain
Wet with old delight

Jew, my dreams are lit
Eternal as the bright sand
Waiting for your rain

Jewels of the heart
Every word the tongue fruits here
Whispers of my faith

Jolly good morning
Eking through the green of leaves
Wayward like a stag

Just brim me love's sweet
Embrace, in forest bosom
Wade me, desire pines.
