Gil Dekel – Poems – 2002-2008 | Poetic Mind

The mirror of life is given to me

but I shall not look.

For the Past is gone

and the Future belongs to God.

Let me be

present days.

Not to die

as a hero

but to live as a hero.

When we kill

God sheds a tear

for yet another of his child

Dies.

Bless you my Lord

For we choose not to be kings

Not to rule

Not to have the lives of others.

Bless you my ancient Lord

For we choose to define ourselves

Not by the money in

Our pockets

But by the love in

Our families’ hearts.

Bless you be

For the choices we can make.

What is God’s Temple,

If not our Belief?

Our Love?

Do not seek strength in

A force of thousand charging knights

But with a mother protecting her child.

For what would be of the land

If the trees would not hold it?

What would be of the trees

If the land will not yield them?

Ask the rain to wash the dust off your heart

Ask your feet to follow the road to

The Holy of the Land.

The day will come for us to enter Jerusalem,

To bless our Lord for men can build

What they have destroyed.

For men can join stone to stone

Heart to heart

And build the Temple of Love.

Do not worry if you are not Jesus on this earth,

If you are not Moses or Muhammad,

As God did not ask us to be His Angels

But only to be His

Saints.

~ Gil Dekel

In the dreams of the

Trees

We are the autumn of life,

We massage the land with

Our hands,

We nourish the air with

Our words,

We bless the spirits of Nature with

Every single beat of our hearts.

In the dreams of the trees

We take a better look at the mirror.

And Love,

Love is

A fragile, precious china in

God’s cupboard.

~ Gil Dekel

You do not need to heal million aching souls in this world.

You only need to heal one soul:

Yours.

Once you have become pure as milk

Aching souls would then draw to you

Asking how could they heal

Themselves.

~ Gil Dekel
22.03.2003

I write words when I wake up in the morning.

I write words when I eat,

When I kiss

When I dream

When I sneeze.

I am God’s little pencil,

And I will write

As long as God will allow me.

~ Gil Dekel

From my bed

Spirits arise.

Slices of thoughts

Are bread in my mouth.

I seek for the truth

Hiding in your knees.

I learn from the days

Bows of regret.

Silent words are

A shield for your face.

You breathe on me

Like water in a pool.

I swim by the trees

Under your sight.

Timbers of love

Are roots for our home.

~ Gil Dekel

Maybe make some honey.

This is what I want to

Be.

Honey to the bees.

We speak, although it seems we cry,

We love.
