What is holiness? Is it
Separation? Is it inclination? The intuition of a light Almost seen, an almost realization…? When that sense, that cry, Swarms within you, Your mind is wonderfully focused And your sinews brilliance, merci beaucoup. And the thought that drives The tenor of your mind finds Itself in resonance to all Thoughts, and it pulls up all the blinds, And you forget no forget-me-nots, But when your mind spills its Elixer of a holy draft, Your thoughts scatter into bits, Each thought wears its neighbor Down, shoves it out of the way, And I grow misty, I forget, I am stumbling with the breakfast tray, When Amalek is wiped away, Everything is clear, nothing forgotten, And every holy name is full, every throne, Everything is one, tied to the dot in The I, memory and sight shine, and I am no longer weak, no longer soft, The hand of God rises, all of my thoughts Are bright as kites carried aloft, Kites in the form of Torah scrolls, Their might like the spring wind Seen through jasper windows By our children who have never sinned.
