From a Distant World
Hi All!
I would like to share with everyone poetry written by Rabbi Abraham Kook. 1865-1935. He was a great man. His poetry needs to be known through out the world!
From A Distant World
And from a distant world, full of illuminations,
The suns there are as broad as the ocean,
And the stars, like the light of our sun,
On the face of the sapphire stone, ...there.
The news reaches me,
Like dew full of overflowing delight,
Guiding me to the hidden Eden,
There...the treasure is stored.
All the faces there are joyful,
Every mouth sings songs of praise,
The highest feelings fill each heart,
And... all legs dance in jubilation.
The past and the future are scrolled into one,
Nothing hidden, everything known,
Every soul full of love for all,
Feelings for the multitudes
And...the light is sown.
All the pasts flow like rivers,
Purity, illumination, strength and light,
Life renewed, freedom and liberation,
Fills ...all our thoughts and activities.
And without teachers, guides, judges or politicians,
Everything is good, everything is clear,
There is no corruption or injustice, everything is with integrity,
And... the night shines like the day.
To a world such as this my soul longs,
In life such as this my spirit soars...
