Moses said
I will lead you to the land
that you do not yet know.
It is there for you to find —
that is why I stayed behind.
Pharoah said
Mitzrayim is to live and enjoy as it is.
A Creator has no relevance to me —
so why should I seek
what is not to be believed?
Something in us knew
So we disturbed the waters.
We held together and we left.
Everything we knew fell away —
not at once, but along the way.
Darkness held —
not to the end
just enough
so we wouldn't turn back.
And we trembled and we cried.
We lost faith and we hid —
but the path has never stopped
leading us
to the land that we do not know.
And the steps we take —
the ones Moses and Miriam led –
have become the path
to this day.
Chag Sameach, Happy Passover everyone!
