In case you ask,
I wear a mask,
And I'll take to task
Those who unmask,

[Even not in a masque,
I won't go unmasked,
But for those unmasked,
Don't mind if I ask,]

Do you live in a cask?
Or perhaps in a flask?

Are you not aware,
Of the plague in the air,
that kills here and there,
there and everywhere?

Do you need to share,
Pain and despair?

Don't play a fife!
You can still save a life,
without trouble or strife,
when the illness is rife ...

Wrapped in a white cloth,
Candle at his head,
A vacuum of feeling,
Much left unsaid.

I saw the building,
Saw the cask,
Tears rocked my being,
'Why?' I did not ask.

Dreamed he was alive,
Smothered underground,
Dreamed he would survive,
That he was still around.

But my soul had died,
Together in that cask,
I lie there by his side,
In lost love to bask.

Behold on high, a palace tall,
Shimmering fire, ethereal wall,
Far above, in heavenly sphere,
Peace, tranquillity. All is clear.

Angelic lights beckon close,
Radiating energy, warmth, compose,
Awe and wonder fore celestial Soul
Loving kindness, life's true rose.

Beloved One, above and below,
Eternal kissing yon nightly glow,
Lift the curtain, remove Your veil,
Good God, guide us in our travail.

Try to paint in words
The experience of G-d's Presence

Hear His whisper
In your mind
Iridescent shining rainbows

Warmth and love
Where self has no place

You have the choice
To draw near
To disappear

And who can say no

I wondered through the darkness,
Dust,
Dirt,
Trepidation.
Saw half-naked shadows
Flit through desolation.

Despair,
Dejection,
Disease,
Tiptoe over corpses,
Shake their head in disbelief
At human folly.

the world
a door
to be opened

open the door,
fill reality
with light

it's dark down here
limitations
shadows
annoyance

it's light up there
illumine the darkness

the light is me
is you
transform the world
