There are some times

When words cant find

A way into my heart

There are some lights

So strong and bright

Im pained when they go dark

There is a joy

That crosses limits

When gone a silence falls

There is a strength

So softly fierce

That faces every call

Your light expanded

Day by day

Derived from the profound

Your gentle eyes

So soft and caring

Saw those without no sound

Your strong arms fought

With fellow soldiers

Side by side at war

Your feet

They danced and danced

But left us empty to our core

For as the coming end

A shofar cried out

Fractions

Within me

Its voice replaced the words

So empty

Since youve left, Ori
