A KaddishThe Aramaic memorial prayer for the dead. Mourners recite this prayer at every service, every day, in the presence of a minyan (prayer quorum) over the course of a year (for a parent) or thirty days (for a sibling or offspring). The prayer actually makes no mention of the dead, but rather prays for the sanctification and magnification of God's name.

What if we succeeded
With the great messes
We are making
G*d Is forever
What if G*d were alone
Lonely G*d
Who will compose poems
To the lonely G*d of Hosts
We were hostages once now again
The song calling back
Newer beings
As if it could
Lift up those bowed over
Sacred spirits
Beasts of the field
Redeem the souls
Out of the lost-and-found
They will sing to you melodies of ascent
Return to the Temple
The Little Sanctuary
The Holy of Holies
Mighty and free
All nations of deeds
All cities of beauty
