The Light of the Fast of Teveth, 5769

A cold, cold day in January
And the bus long in coming -
The sky a white chill -
Blue at a distance the hills.
But the light looking south
On the morning road is different -
Beautiful - like a ray of the infinite
Touching far down on the earth.
If I took the path at the turning,
There where its early glow
Illumines the street sign,
Somehow I know
Past and present would merge
And I would live in the light
Of a boundless happiness forever.
