You don’t see me
You don’t even know I’m here
I am the sun’s shadow
That moves on the edge of town
Marking out your boundaries
Building your foundations
You don’t see me
Even though I am
Everything to you
I never stay too long
In one place
I keep moving
Moving is living
And all places
Are but one
I am the guardian
Against the Darkness
I bring you Light
To keep you from stumbling
I build you a fire
To keep your bones
Alive
I nourish you
In secret
My wandering
Is a longing
I long for justice
I long for peace
I long for joy
I long for righteousness
I long for home
I long for birth and re-birth
I long for all that is the glory of G-d
Every step I take
Is a longing
My wandering
Is a refusal
I refuse hate
I refuse greed
I refuse envy
I refuse covetousness
I refuse pomposity
I refuse war
I refuse death
Every step I take
Is a refusal
Know that
As quickly as I build
I can destroy
That which is not worthy
That which has been infested
By the invasive Darkness
The Hand of G-d
Is upon me
Holding me upright
That I should not
Falter
And as quickly as I build
I can destroy
