D. Avraham ~ Musings

I left a bookmark

On your page

And was surprised

To find

Since my last visit

The plot had shifted

.

I marked my place

And skipped ahead

A little

Turn of a page or two

But upon my return

All the story lines had tangled

.

I had put it down

It’s true

I got busy with,

Oh, I’m not sure what, but

I just always expected

I could pick up

In that same place

Where I left off

.

Couldn’t you

Have found a way

To suspend time and space

Like the bookmark

I had left for you.

We want MoshiaH now

As long as he’s wearing

The Red Cape and Boots

And when we call, he will respond

And swoop down

From his Heavenly Roost.

.

We want Superman immediately

As long as the streimel fits

And he follows the right rabbi

And of course, he is above and beyond

All that questionable pedigree

Of David ben Yishai

.

We want redemption

As long as it comes easy

Without any of the difficulty

That are prone to interesting times

Change is never easy

But its easy not to change

We want what we want as long as it meets our specs

For of course we know best.

.

We want MashiaH now.

At least I do

.

The darkest time of the night is just before dawn
