Beshalach

 בס״ד



Beshalach


a pillar of cloud, and a pillar of fire

guide us forward, night and day


one a mist, and one a flame

yet, when placed behind us

as if to say: “We have your back”

they join to keep Egypt at bay


a shield of deepest darkness

and a blaze of illuminating light

two incompatible elements

like burning hail, or body and soul


revealed, to be one
