Ohr Chadash - New Horizons in Jewish Experience

Yom Kippur Eve

English Poetry

In a place beyond time
in a time beyond space –
I met You there.

I’m not sure what I saw
for You have no form.
I don’t remember what I heard
for there was not even a sound.

(except for the song that my soul was singing
a candle flame prayer from the end to the beginning)

And my soul was ecstatic for it felt Your Presence;
my heart was aching to be closer still,
and I wished I could fly
way beyond
so far past…
till the candle burned down
swallowed up in the void.

In a time beyond space
in a place beyond time –
I met You there.
