POET
LIFE CYCLE POEMS
WEDDING WORDS
© 2004 Jordan Margolis
JORDAN:
Dancing eyes so blue
they reflect as a bubbling brook
the spacious sky above towering trees,
pillars of the world
Widened eyes - so true
they respond as perfect mirrors
to excitement and sorrow,
the spirals of life
Closed eyes - so over due
they rest, peaceful as the moon
which acts as guard and guides the tide
to caress the earth
These eyes - These two
they belong to my beloved
these twinkling moons lighten my spirits
and I bask in Love's silhouette
HOLLY:
Hold me and we'll brave the future
Help me grow in womanhood
Hide the fears of just beginning
Hear me, love, I call your name
Lift my heart when I am troubled
Let our spirits fuse as one
Listen to my inner feelings
Laugh with me, I call your name
Brighten up my life by smiling
Bare your soul to me alone
Build your dreams but honor mine
Be my friend, I call your name
We can learn each other's secrets
When the night spreads out its wings
Where we are, it does not matter
Husband, call me by your name.

WE CALL HER LINDSAY
© 2004 Jordan Margolis
Searching eyes - so new
They look out at a world without suspicion
Only curiosity
and wonder
Jewel-like eyes - so blue
Colored like the sky which stretches
above, like the life
now unfolding
Silent eyes - no clue
to what they(ll witness
or whom they(ll adore
beyond us
These eyes - those two
They belong to our daughter, Lindsay
And our eyes - just stare
wet with tears of love and joy.

HELLO WORLD, MY NAME IS JORI
© 2004 Jordan Margolis
( SUNG ON THE OCCASION OF JORI ALANA*S HEBREW NAMING CEREMONY)
Hello World
Her name is Jori
A little girl
A wondrous story
First, our Lindsay Jill
taught us how to smile
I tell you, what a thrill
Just to hug your child
And when she calls you...Dad.
Hello World
Her name is Jori
A little girl
A wondrous story
Til she learns to talk
Her eyes say everything
Soon, she will start to walk
I'll push her on a swing
But then she'll meet some...lad
Remember Gramps
Remember Gramma
They both were champs
of real life drama
This Shabbat I know
Tho we can't see them here
They love this baby so
I feel their presence near
I hope we've made them glad
Hello World
Her name is Jori
A family pearl
Who's bound for glory
Hello World Hello World Hello World
My name is Jori.

MIRROR IMAGE

Now I see - There.
The glint in the shape at just the right angle
Sharp and alert. (Of Course)
Now I hear - That's it.
Reflective, connective; bouncing on echos
Then laughter. (But Of Course)
Now I feel - Here.
Tomorrow and always; huggable, lovable
and safe (All Right)
Now I know - Yes.
I am my daughter, she is her mother/father
Aging. (Very Well)

ONE FROM THE AGES
© 2004 Jordan Margolis
That's new
Or is it?
Looks familiar -
After all
Watch now
How did she - ?
Just can -
As always
Skipping by
Freshingly light
Dancin
Dance out
Sky-bound on air
Anythere
So much of us
And quite before?
Time to fly
Agelessly
