Ma’ariv Aravim

There’s no diva in the choral dusk-

Croaking frogs and evening birdsong

Dogs howling across the bay

Equally join in conversation and praise.

Patiently, Her paint-brushed sky 

Wraps tree crowns 

Like silken prayer shawls 

On majestic bodies of sap and bark.

Together we roll with time and currents of light

Into darkness, darkness into light.

Walking slowly, the gates open,

As I make my way home to Your heart.
