Before the differentiation
Of the first letter spoken,
The silence of Aleph
Held all things.
Aluph, Champion God,
Aluph, Captain God,
Elevate me through silence,
Guide me to transcend
The division of language,
Of the blessed, Holy letters
Wrapped tightly in tattered garments
Of filth and mess and cruelty,
Obscuring their illumination.
Help me
Disrobe them.
Aluph,
Hold me within the silence of Kol Tov:
Comfort me during these days of fears.
Although I may not yet know
The sod
I know the secret is there –
Waiting –
In the stillness of all potential,
For me to add
The letter that is my life
To the ultimate
Yet to be revealed.
*Aluph is a name of God used by the Mystics and connotes Oneness and can be translated as “Champion” or “Captain”.
Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet is an illusion to it.
