The King is in the Field
Awakening Scents Of Present, Past And Future
Arrived in space of everlasting peace,
Speeding sounds of pulsating heartbeats,
Messages of ancient trees,
Thrusting upward,
Connecting heaven to earth
Analogous vibrations of my soul…
Pulsating in perfect harmony,
With vast stillness of Hashem’s ever loving grace….
Showers of raindrops softly caress my face,
Reminding me,
How blessed the well from which I drank,
So long ago.
Arouse, Awake my soul!
Walk toward YOUR King in the field,
Embrace the light!
The glimmer of endless sunbeams
Illuminating, enlightening, engulfing,
Liberating secrets sealed in consciousness…
Treasure melodies of hummingbirds;
Enchanting butterflies nearing perfection,
Composing nature, tuning life,
Revising, transforming, converting, altering,
Always growing, expanding, reaching for the sky…
Celebrating flawless, G-dly perfection …
Eyes marvel at inestimable shades of color,
Highlighted beyond myriads of infinite shades,
Endlessly expanding, escalating, increasing,
Limitless compilations of Hashem’s ultimate creation
Towers of green,
Powerful branches reaching the sky,
Roots reaching depth of earthly limits,
Musk of autumn breezes,
Twilight of late afternoon…
Committing to memory heavenly scents of dewy, lofty foliage –
A journey long ago begun…
Guise of childhood,
Another time, another world….
Never alone, ever evolving,
Waiting patiently …
Always…
Feeling soft crushed leaves under my feet,
Resembling life years passed,
Powerfully integrated into earth’s soft bosom
I quickening my walk,
Elating my senses,
Breathing softly,
Filling my essence.
Words seem unbefitting here…
Superfluous…
Shabbos is joining heaven and earth
Shechina envelops nature…
Illuminating, ever enlightening,
I am prepared
To humbly meet my King.
