Watch Word /
                        The Word is Wood
                        This burnished bench
Sh’ma Yisrael
                        was once a tree
Hear, O Israel
                        the prayer was dance
Adonai Eloheinu
                        there were no pews
The lord your God
                        the word was wind
Adonai echad
                        the moon named names
The lord is one
                        and the bird’s prayer too
Baruch shem kavod
                        in our sandaled feet
Blessed be the lord
                        married words to heart
Malchuto
                        the whole grove sang
King of the universe
                        and that fallen log
Le’olam va’ed
                        silent memory now
Forever and ever
                         let us say
Amen
