Purim Theorem!
Rambam holds Hashem is math,
Hashem does not take a path,
Like “Squaring the Circle”,
Such is illogical,
Yet the Zohar differs on Hashem’s craft!
Witness the Aron anomaly,
Giving rise to a homily,
Finite length & width yet zero volume,
Boggling the mind, yielding it solemn,
Evoking Emunah more than normally!
Size yet no volume?
Anomaly! as in Shalom,
Moshe saw that the “Burning Bush”,
Was unconsumed, he didn’t silence: Hush!,
Risking ridicule, courage to be alone!
Moshe saw water & fire combine,
Hashem’s Shalom nonintuitively align,
Illogic surprise from mire,
Despair be gone! Lost? A Divine sign!
Purim, 339 Before Common Era,
Hashem again was a true “Chevra”,
Upending Haman’s goose,
In a long necked noose,
Saving the Yidden from an evil schema!
Arrogance vanquished,
Anomaly? Yes by logic languished,
Expect the unsuspected,
Human reason dissected,
Headstand of man anguished!
“Shemayim’s” Burning Bush is a hymn,
Let the “Olam” Hear Him,
Again no novelty,
“Chiddush” renewal, an end to “Evilty!”
All Adds Up to Purim Theorem!

eclipse an errant eon
inhale discordant ions
exhale insectile icons
disarm misfiring memes
take umbrage under a titanic umbrella
recede from seething red-holes in sinkholes
just so you know…
Helga and Zohar orbit the Moon
a harsh mistress giggles indifferently
a cold cosmos says nothing
you are (not) what you think (you are)
forbid fallacious words
forget wordy fallacies
forgo fatuous wormholes
FYI, it’s Awesome
FWIW, it's Perfect
TBH, it’s FUBAR

The masterwork of Cabbala is the Zohar
I took a glance at it today
in the mystical bookstore near me - Namaste
What I read about was the importance of the Sabbath
I usually attend services Friday night at the Reform temple near me
The presence of God can be found
if you open your heart to it
The scoffers non withstanding
the Sabbath brings peace and healing
and is something to look forward to
after the week's toil

Alone he sits
with the copy
he owns
of the Zohar
on the table
He yearns for unity
with the divine
the Cabalist
seeks to understand
the permutations
of the ineffable name of God
He calls the names
of the angels
to aid him in his quest
All night he peruses the book
of Splendor
For he must learn how
something came from nothing
and how
the truths of eternity
reveal themselves
to suffering humanity
and he carries his burden
to the end of days
when the light
of the universe itself
will be revealed
to the faithful

You could do it well too!
Zohar of the crystal ring,
ask me questions, anything....
what comes to mind is the very thing
that they are asking for,
first answer not ignored,
ridiculous is King?
Will make sense when you bring,
to light the rabid score,
put in the mind and stored ...
it comes to pass this thing...
what you are looking for,
happens yes for sure,
your mind creates the door,
the wanting of it brings,
thought happenings are things,
that cannot be ignored,
far better than i-ching,
the answers do not bore?
What are you waiting 4?
comprende ding a ling.

Sweet woman of Yahweh
sing to me
the Song of Songs
song of love
with kisses of wine.
I desire you
as Adam desired Eve
primordial affection
this knowledge I seek of you
my beloved one.
You are dark and beautiful
but grace alone is deceitful
beauty by itself ever so vain
you my love possess both
coupled with the fear of Yahweh
for you are deserved of praise.
I seek you
when dusk turns to night
Shabbat
the remnants of daylight
is in your eyes
leaving a kiss of the days memory.
Let us read from the books of Zohar
we are surrounded
by the Kabballat angels
where the Shabbat Queen
restores our love each week.
Oh my love
suspended are we
between the secular
and the sacred.
Almighty God has created
this wonderful world for us
in radiant shards and sparks of light
tonight we tend our souls.
Come let us embrace the Kaballah
I draw for you
a most wonderful mandala
for my darling
a dream is dreamed three times.
The evening is upon us
I see over your shoulder falling
your hair in serpent like ringlets
your black hair is twisted
to allure you to me
my new found lover
Shabbat Shalom....
