ACT 2: of Becoming One

By Emily Stern

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/emily_stern/item/act_2_of_a_three_part_play_of_becoming_one_20100613

This is a poetic exploration
told in 3 acts
of contraction and expansion,
searching and questioning,
praying, of breaking,
being on the land as a person of faith,
this seeing of the stars in the sky,
the seeds in the ground,
the glass that breaks at weddings,
The tablets that shatter in the sand
The birth that exists here,
and most of all hope.
It is told through our matriarchs and partriarchs
to show the continuation of our lineage
interwoven with the living Torah of guidance.
