Still Leaving Egypt

Before we left Egypt 
 
we were telling the story
 
of our liberation,
 
Even as we consumed
 
the idol of our oppressors.
 
We are a people
 
whose kavannah is to hope.
 
 
Life Force of the Matrix of The Holy Blessed One,
 
Help me 
 
set alight the chametz
 
blocking the integrity of my alignment
 
of Da’at’s relational consciousness

 

Ablaze within the tenderness
 
of Tiferet’s vulnerable heart,

 

Transformed by Yesod’s deepest connection
 
for the sake of 
 
Shekhinah’s tzedek v’shalom.

 

I do not want the world to burn.

 

What I want
 
is flame enough
 
to cauterize the wound,
 
ransoming emunah’s holy letters,
 
to create the redeemed future
 
You want me 
 
to see.
