Standing before the promise
Of another soul
When intention aligns
With the prayers of Shabbat,
My neshama, palpably,
Begins to open.
What she wants most
Is to expand more fully
Into her gifts;
As need recedes,
As growth
Deepens healing:
Where no petition presses
On HaVaYa
Who leads the way
To restoration
And refreshment,
In order that when the new week arrives,
Creation, re-invigorated, has what it needs:
HaVaYah and me
Growing closer, together.
