Psalms In The Heart

I thought I could climb to the heavens alone, But my ego just laughed with a heart made of stone. Each step that I took, I fell twice as deep, Till the friends came around and pulled me from sleep. The world says, “Take more!”—it shouts with a grin, But the heart knows the truth: that’s the root of our sin. So I sit with my brothers, their fire my light, In the heat of their love, my soul takes its flight. When one heart grows weary and falls to the ground, The others rush quickly, they circle around. For sparks join as one till a bonfire’s born, And together we rise through the night and the morn. It hurts to let go of the “I” that I love, It feels like I’m torn by the heavens above. Yet laughter breaks out through the sorrow and pain, For losing myself is the truest of gain. The Creator hides not in the sky or the sea, But in bonds between hearts, in the love of the we . So I’ll cling to my friends, for it’s here I can see, That the place of the Lord is our sweet unity.

the world is filled with such self love even though we know its all from above the war we are fighting deep with in to ignore it in truth is a sin so unite together ones heart and soul all to pay tribute to the one that is whole so rise above the fleeting flame forget the honor, forget the name hold the friends as your living prayer for the Creator is hidden there with laughter, sorrow, joy, and pain we weave one song, one sweet refrain to give, not take, is our only role united as one, we form one soul

The Torah’s light, a hidden sword, It lifts the spark toward its Lord. Not to destroy, but to transform, The nations bend, their will reform. At times I fall, they take the crown, The klipot dance and drag me down. But from the ten, a hand extends, “Get up, you fool! Connect to friends!” In love and pain I rise once more, Through laughter, tears, the heart is sore. The spark of Israel, though so slight, Can summon heaven’s endless light. So let the nations mock and jeer, The path is narrow, sharp, severe— Yet through the suffering, joy is sown, For Israel’s seed is not my own. It is the Creator, dwelling deep, Awakening hearts that long to weep. And in that cry, the nations fall— ...
