Haikus

--by Efrat Malachi


The more you give love
The more an angel's cup fills
The more holy wills


The moon rises bright
Not to replace the sun’s height
Both work day and night


Cradles me asleep
The sea is a lullaby
Rocking back and forth


The jungle runs wild
Beastly freedoms take control
Running forever



A tall tree bending
Feeling the downs of the day
Meeting me in pain



Colors shedding through
Along the rainy pavement
Now searching for gold



Seeing the sign up
Doesn’t mean being fluent
Speaking its language
