Like 100,000 suns,
Heaven gleams within
the eyes of the faithful –
it’s light refines the soul
of imperfections and sin,
on the way to Shomayim.
—– —– —–
Do we dare look straight
into the heavenly brilliance?
Only with earthly eyes
will we fail to see its grandeur;
rather, with a pure heart,
we may be granted a vision
within the depths of the mind,
where time and eternity blend.

Oh L-rd,
only wisdom,
bright as your countenance,
will shed light on my wayward path,
tonight.
Tonight,
every night…
during the days of gloom,
when there is no room for this hope
to bloom.
To bloom,
like a flower,
transplanted from soil,
depleted by war’s cruelty,
and dearth.
And dearth,
leaves us scant food,
unable to nourish
our souls with everlasting hope,
and dreams.
And dreams,
vanish in sync
with the early morning
air raids, that signal a new day,
oh L-rd.

Hope, is the mainstay of my life
and the fruition of my thoughts.
Hope, will outweigh the strife
that weighs heavily upon my heart.
Hope, the champion of the future,
a prelude to ultimate victory.
Hope, is enough to suture
the wounds inflicted by misery.
Hope, will mend the broken fragments
of a life unduly shattered.
Hope, will diminish the lament
of those whose clothes are tattered.
Hope, designed to stich each patch
and sew together the unraveled strands.
Hope, will help to gather all who are lost,
like collecting so many grains of sand.
Hope, will meld with faith,
bridging the gap in between.
Hope obtained, will never fade,
always realizing the dream.
