A Strange Feeling...............

בס''ד

Living in the Israel’s South, we hear booms and aircraft on a daily bases. Some booms are from the IDF practicing at a base near by, some booms are the grad missiles that the terrorist from Gaza aim at us to main and kill and other booms are from the IDF defending us.

One day last week……………………

While sitting in my kitchen

Waiting for my student to arrive

A very strange feeling

Came over me.

 

Can’t really describe it

Sort of felt like

Butterflies.

 

The sun was shining

The sky was as blue as blue can get

Not a cloud to be seen

And gently the wind blew.

Then it happened again

Those butterflies

Floating around

And around and around.

Is there a message

To be told?

Is the siren about to wail?

The unusual quiet was deafening.

My front door vibrated

A great big rattle

No jets in the sky

What can it be?

Is my imagination

Running away

With me?

 

Now two minutes later

The quiet is broken

Boom!

 

So goes life

For us citizens

Who live

In Israel’s South.

Until nest time. Feel free to comment and share..............
