In The Stillness

In The Stillness

Yom Kippur quietness after kol nidrei has knighted

Musical chant from over a thousand years recited

Profound stillness over the Land of the Jews

Barely a blink in history time, since restored Liberty was news

I hear the cries as The Inquisitions tried

I hear the cries as the Russian Cossacks slaughtered

I hear the cries as Nazi ovens burned

I hear the cries in the Soviet gulags

Forgiveness and life inscribed, the new beginning

Burden of guilt swept away under divine light

Mysteries of faith that swing from belief to disbelief

Where reality is certainty and all else without veracity

But now in Liberty the Day of Atonement

No hiding or fear that a hostile gun is near

Repentance or acceptance by the faithful or atheist

None can take away that it’s done because of the strength, of the Zionist
