The Sound of Aleph
I chased the sound of aleph
I felt the whisper of it on my skin
And it moved in me.
Its straight edges
rounding
filling me
urging me
to move,
to dance,
and feel the curve of the earth
and stand at the beginning of sky
and the end of the sea,I sought the sound of aleph–
The breath of God
that lifted me,
and freed me,
and called
A benediction to me.
I chased a hymn of silence,
a psalm of light
And yet I see only shadow:
A silhouette
Of dark against
darker still
and limned in pale silver.
I smelled the music
that clung to your skin
like spring,
like coming home.And there,
at the edge of
Everything,
Where the journey ends
and I begin,
and all that separates
Earth from sky
is a thin band of bending
Light—There
Exactly there—
A vibration of holy breath
That filled the space around me
And moved in me
Like water,
And there I was whole
in the sound of aleph.Share this:
