Tzohar

A mountain with layers of multi-colored light illuminating the sky
To enter the ark,
alone and in silence,
to acquiesce 
to the shouts for compassion,
while raising the eyes
toward the tzohar,*
the light that has
never before been seen,
in the month of Cheshvan,
as chesed and curiosity
bathes us in 
its illuminating mikvah.
 
We are living
as if in an experiment:
What are the essential elements
ensuring that we 
will not 
be washed
away?
 
*Tzohar refers to a window in Noah’s Ark that it’s suggested let in a special light.
