Shekinah

I Am Hebrew Shekinah,

the Bride, the Sabbath Queen.

I Am moonlight!

I Am the candles in the dark,

and the mother is My priestess

at the family table, bestowing blessing.

I Am the light unconquerable

that hides in every heart.

In a heart-beat of openness,

in a defenseless wink,

in a moment of grace,

in the eternity between breaths,

I enter with a vision

of the whole earth seen from space,

of cycles moving through darkness

always toward the light.

I Am the Messiah, Sabbath Peace.

Hear O Israel!

The human race is One!

Welcome Me!

Raise your crescent arms

to the pregnant dark!

Prepare room for Me with praise.

I Am the instant of renewal,

the truth of wholeness.

I Am the future waiting to be born.

I Am the crystal seed of hope.

Your fear is all that keeps Me

from flowering, illuminating

within.
