Behar-Bechukosai


The shmitta year refines our view

she reminds us, and inclines us to

be grateful for our given land

and learn to have an open hand.


Your fellow you will not aggrieve

if the earth each seventh year you leave

yourself becoming one in need

uprooting brambles bred of greed.


A loftier seed is sown instead

and nourished, yields a richer bread

as one in seven she lies still

our hearts we leave to her to till.
