For every one
Of life’s torrential floods,
There is a teivah,
An ark –
A container of words.
And in every word,
The Holy breath of letters.
And by breath of every letter,
There comes an opening.
And through every opening,
A Zohar:
A light.
And by way of light,
The klal of Yisrael,
Behold,
Is offered
The illumination of life;
A life of illumination.
