On Study And Prayer
ON STUDY AND PRAYER
I spend
As much time
As is practical,
Studying and praying
Which is a creation
As real
As the growth
Of a tree
So my happiness
Is woven
From the peace
Of hours.
Studying Scripture
Is like
Growing a tree –
Green and musical.
As I scan
The Aramaic
Letters
Of the Zohar
The air is
Charged
With blessings
In the shadow
Of a synagogue.
Studying
Is like
Laying in a
Silken cradle
Where the wind
Scatters my
Winter dreams
And life
With my
Precious Marianne
Is like
Two robins
Building a nest.
Every morning
Is a mystery
In the realm
Of lived prayer
Where my
Words
Are like
A sparrow’s
Song to God.
