Myth and Reality

Myth and reality

How everyone in the universe painted dragon:
India
China
Germany?
There was this dragon.
This is not a myth.

How the lovers dream about 
Kings and Queens,
The Palace,
The glass slipper
About Cinderella?
This is the reality.

I live in Jerusalem and the dream and 
The legend is  reality 
I am wearing a sandal on Cinderella, at
Street alley
I watch My kingdom
That your image
Engraved.

Hope you are well during this terrible time. My Hebrew is basically enough to read the prayers in the prayerbook without knowing exactly what I am saying. I would like to be more fluent in Hebrew and/or Yiddish Have a blessed New Year. B'Shalom Matthew Anish

I visited Jerusalem recently - my first trip to your country. It was quite an experience. Have you ever been to the U.S.A? I think the best line in your poem is "The legend is reality". Peace & Love Matthew Anish
