FREEDOM DOES NOT STAND ALONE

POEM FOR SHABBOS CHAZAK

Freedom whispered in constant wind

Scattered four war ways & twice twinned

Relentless pairs bound in life’s pursuit

Of freedom & restraint in God’s route.

Yet what of the other whispered pair

As in From & To or Hope & Despair

Cojoined in both Spirit or Hand in Hand

Singularity has no ability to last & stand.
