Apple zucchini soup for breakfast,
Maoz falafel for lunch,
and all the made up dishes
in between.

We are angels of the ocean.
Anchored to the earth
by roots of the ancients
and strong enough
for typhoon and tidlewave.

We are the Giant Sea Kelp
gathered in a great forest
an under-ocean sanctuary.

We are clown fish
in the face of danger.

We are the Great Blue Whale
and points of life
consumed in our bellies.

We are light on the waves
and reaching down
through black water.

We are new life
in an old world
of destruction.

We are the main course
the glass of wine
laughter between friends
and tears
shed in solitude.

We are overpriced candies,
a gesture of caring,
and children
playing in the sun.
