Prayer

lord, let my soul
soar above my room
let her dance on walls
to songs of violins
leap rooftops
to pages of poetry
praise
-- an orange, a horse
-- a mountain, a breeze

let her transcend all limits
of my small life

(Elaine Starkman, in Women Speak to God: The Prayers and Poems of Jewish Women, ed. Marcia Cohn Spiegel and Deborah Lipton Kremsdorf [San Diego, CA: Womanâ€™s Institute for Continuing Jewish Education, 1987], p. 73)

This one just hit me. It's joy. From the mundane to the transcendent.
It made me smile.

Hope you enjoy it too!

Shalom!
