I spent the desert of my childhood
Seeking water,
Finding refuge only in the Light of Stars
And moon,
My shelter from sweltering sun
From what harshness of my cactus youth
Did a sabra flower bloom?
Some say the trick to finding is
Being Found, yet
Walking across this narrow bridge
I hear a Fly buzz, then
Around my head
It answers to the name of
Persistence!
Each step brings me closer to the Place
Abounding of water,
Knowing I’ve been parched so long
I see Blue waves,
and stumble forward
My oasis, only Hashem,
My restoration, my rock
