familiar place.
is that a voice i hear? faint and paradoxically clear.
sleep falls away from my eyes, and,
it is as though i stand before a mountain.
i am overwhelmed. my soul in awe.
morning has revealed my journey,
here to the foot of sinai.
home.
i have journeyed home,
and pray that i am bidden to enter.
the words of ruth echo across time:
Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you.
Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.
Your people will be my people and your G-d my G-d.
as the sun crests atop the mountain, i see my people;
my friends, my teachers, my family,
my community.
i have journey back to sinai.
to my home.
