Living and not living in and out of time

catching missing blessing moments sad sublime

experience remembered getting polished scarred 

long process redemption holding up letting down guard

treading on the thin line

between human-hypocrite

between quickly sharing thoughts

or grinning and bearing it

G-d let him not grow lazy

him being known as me.

...Ki Atah Shomeah...

 And,

from in front of You
(or may I say before you,
not forgetting
that You are our King):

Don't turn us around,
don't send us off,
don't answer us
as empties,
as unfilled,
as unfulfilled.

That's not how
we wish to go,
and here's why
you shouldn't
treat us like that:
because You hear
the prayers of
Your Nation
Israel (that's
us) with mercy.

Your mercy is
our angle,
You, G-d, are the
source of all blessings-
You, who 
with mercy is
always hearing
prayer.
