This Realm

After taking long 
vacations in Middle Earth, Shangri La and Barsoom
  a weary traveler returns to earth
    this realm 
which can fill 
one with wonder
Otherworldy philosiphies
are only a small part
of the truths we seek
Friday night service
where we are taught
to admire common labor
done for our benefit
Brings one back 
to the realm
of the "masters and teachers"
who have sent out
their messages and prayers
Over the rocks of Safed and the
domes of Jerusalum
A single candle
continutes to burn
with a touch of cabala gently spoken of
in a whisper
this realm is renewed once more
