Shomea Tefillah: Woman in her Tallis

Do you wear this tallis like a house of worship?

like a magic cape empowering your ancient incantation?

Does it swaddle you in safety?

Do its fibers hear your prayer?

It is a sky of stars stroking your face,

your entirety falling towards a kiss that brushes eternity,

Your transcendence woven with the light of peace.

The hope of everything finding Her way home.

Blessed are You, Shechina our God, Spirit of the universe,

who has sanctified us with Her commandments,

and commanded us to enwrap ourselves in Tzitzit.
