Poem: Rectify Our Prayer 


Rectify Our Prayer

We have prayed with the sun and recited psalms with the moon and have never moved our lips with light. 

Rectify our prayers!

Who is the fire in light?

Who is the hand of life?

It is the Song of God. 

I hear the wind of many wings. She is coming! The one who sings the Song of God. 

Elijah rises up and announces: She descends, crying out to the very edge of the world, "Hear, Oh Israel..." 

How do they respond?

They cry out to her, "Sing us The Song of God!"

For if they do not cry out to her in this way she will not descend unto them. 

Who is the waves of love that encircle all worlds? 

Who is that Jew, the one begging outside the gates of Rome?

It is the Song of God, strong in grace, gently instilling faith.

I, HASHEM, have not changed, and you, Sons of Jacob, have not become extinct. MALACHI 3:6
