Although we feel isolated and alone, remember that we are connected by our humanity. We have the power to reach out to others and express the love and caring we feel. This will sustain us until the day we can again embrace in each other’s arms.
Shabbat Shalom
Thank you to Ulpan La-Inyan for sharing this piece.
We figured we’d conquered it all
Towers in the heavens we built
Man, who needs man?
No other Flood will come in our day
We will never, ever fall
Leave it, we’ll be fine on our own
Smart, prepared and correct
And nothing is above us
Until you came
And infected
And crazed
And quarantined
And confused
And shocked
Who are you?
How you brought back sanity
Longing for human beings
The loneliness suddenly burns
We’re no longer flying from here to there
All the parks are locked
Weddings almost without people
We nearly lost ourselves
Almost stopped feeling
Soon all this will be over
And I request if possible
That the morning after you leave
We won’t go back to being the same
