Short Olam Poems

Into His hands I entrust my spirit,
When I sleep and when I wake,
I'm in God's hands.

You are Yehovah God the Eternal.
What You were You will continue to be;
That which you are now you will always be.
Therefore, I am not afraid.
Let the high mountains fall down.
Let the deepest seas dry up.
Let fire consume all the earth.
Let the flood wash all away.
Let my enemies oppress.
I will not tremble and fear.
Yehovah you are my refuge and strength....

Songs which
repeat themselves 
     in the mind 
  are things which 
repeat themselves deep in the heart
 Adon Olam will be heard again

       the years have come and gone 
   but our hopes 
live on 
 Love & poetry 
are tragedy 
   There is a nice Spanish woman 
  in my building 
who brings me Jewish newspapers 
   Glad to know her......

When I sleep,
when I awake,
Your abiding Spirit
is within me.

when I dream,
the fire of testimony

as Your words are
within me.

And when I breathe
You in,
Yeshua, my Yeshua,
I feel Your 
love always,
shalom from
the God of Israel. ~...
