Shabbat Shuvah

It was the kind of dream it hurts to wake from

Not just because we were together

But because we were ‘really talking’

As you’d have put it


And I had the right words

Though they started to slip away

Even as I spoke them 

As I slipped back towards wakefulness

And away from you 


But I’ll try to put down some of them here 

You were mentioning 

All the exhaustion and uncertainty 

And even despair that you’d lived


And I told you you should rejoice

Because these are symptoms of the heart

And that I knew 

The Being to Whom we return

Is concerned with matters of the heart
