The Poet

אין עולם כמו זה.

יש כאן אנשים שלא מבינים אותי

ואני לא מבינה אותם.

עדיין לא.

נבין אחד את השני יום אחד.

When my body heals

it heals in a different shape.

Where does your heart

go? Do you leave yourself?

You must be with you.

We are together as One.

We are full.

Of love,

of hope.

I know You.

In Your shadow I was created.

You deserve to be happy.

You deserve to be healthy.

You deserve to be safe.

You deserve to love

and to be loved.

I have You

in my heart

You live as the strength needed

to love myself through it.

I have no

lack of joy

or sadness to create.

My heart has broken

and I am here

as me.

מי יבחר אותי

לעולם?

חוץ ממך.

חוץ ממך אני לבד.

אבל איתך,אני מלאה באהבה.

I pray thank You.

Thank You when I wake.

Thank You when I lay

my head down to rest.

Thank You for

the life You grant me,

the love You place within me

and surround me with.

I keep my peace

to impress myself.

For if I have no patience,

I will always burn.

With all ideas together

we are more than a group,

we are one people.

Understanding

is to turn one’s thoughts

to the mirror.

And even the mistakes are purposeful.

To live is to learn

and to learn is to fall many times.

Tell the story of your

Sabbath traditions

and it will be replicated.

It will be new and ancient.

It will be mistakenly done out of order

and perfect.

It will be restful and alive.

Words exist to be

written and ordered as they

come, speak without aim.

יש מילים

ויש סיפורים

‏בפנים סיפורים הם מילים.

‏ובפנים מילים הן סיפורים.

מה יבוא מהלב שלהם?

כאשר בן אדם לבד,

הוא שוכח את עצמו בעצמו.

(There are words

and there are stories.

Within stories are words.

and within words are stories.

What will come from the heart of them?

When a person is alone,

he forgets himself in himself.)

If the sun gave us

one week to leave it,

when would I?

How would the sun

not be ours to keep?

When I am safe

I become soft again.

I see in the darkness.

I see myself in the eyes

of my grandparents.

I see the need to be here

as I am.

מהבית הזה

.אני חיה חיים יפים

.דאגתי לך בחורף

.שניים לא תמיד שווים לאחד

(From this house

I live a beautiful life.

I cared for you in the winter.

Two is not always worth one.)
