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.
