Soulmates With G-d

By Ashrei (Ima Sari Wisenthal)

I don't understand this, I can't pretend I do,

How can half of me live inside of you?

I don't know what magic is, nor what is real,

But I know that In G-d is the only glue that can heal.

You guide me, You hide me, You make me reveal,

All the depth of the pain that resists the climb up this hill.

I lay down granulated, spread my soul out before You,

There is comfort in this brokeness, for I hadn't died yet.

You brake me to free me from my minds’ golden cage,

A sparrow, a song bird, an eagle - soar free in Thy Winds.

A phoenix will relieve this pain a thousand times more.

Each time You bring me home when You break me, it cannot be ignored.

A leviathan that shielded me, while digesting my pain,

You provided the path to come back home, again and again.

Your miracle is the only healing force for me now,

I cannot pretend to understand how you mend a fully broken man.

You ripped my soul in two, before I was delivered,

Only You will provide me with the weaving of this quiver.

Aim at me, shoot your arrow towards my heart,

And I will bleed, allow me, at Your will, to fall apart.

For it is Your serenity that supports me from fading,

You have saved me, healed me, my G-d, please embrace me in Your name.

Protect me with Your light, mend me with Your stories,

Reveal to me the beauty of all of Your glories.

And I will dwell in Your presence a thousand years more.

I will heal what has broken on the other side of this door.
