Path of Light - Poem

Throughout this week, I have been blessed that Hashem has sent me many ideas to write about. This one you are about to read, was written based of phrase "to leave it all behind". I had some idea which I don't remember at this present moment, but I believe I was thinking about portals. That then got me thinking about going through the tunnel, or portal, to a higher realm of understanding, a higher realm of purpose and "leaving it all behind" to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.

This one line then allowed other lines to join forces and create the final product, "Path of Light", a poem about a group of friends who undertake a unique journey to bring glory to G-ds name, by traveling to the unknown corners of the world, to the hidden areas of wonder and magic and to go through the portal, to travel the path of light, in order to reach their one collective goal.

I hope you enjoy the poem and if I could say, as I was writing this introduction, my mind presented me with the image of Reb Zvi Kogan Hy''d, the Chabad shliach who was abducted and murdered, to the shock and horror of all the world. As a shliach, he brought glory to G-d, by traveling to the unknown, to areas like, the UAE, only to spread Torah.

He traveled on the path of light. 

This is a path he knew, very well.

May the poem, simply serve as an aliyah for his glorious and beautiful soul.

May G-d bring peace and redemption to the world, in our days, with speed and precision.

Have a blessed week ahead,

Path of Light - Poem
Leaving it all behind,
Stepping into the higher realms,
Under the cover of the nights blanket,
To the link in time of forever, we ascend,
Into the mist,
Following the path of light,
Sparks colour the tunnel,
As the world sleeps, we travel, awake to the prize.

Following our chosen path,
No obstacles dare to stop us,
For we are following those before our time,
Paying tribute to those whose spirit accompanies us.
This is the path of light,
There is no other path like it, we are walking it,
Transporting ourselves to the realms beyond,
This is our mission, we won’t give up on it.

The angels guide us,
Throughout all the twists, turns and the straight runs,
It’s just our group, the angels and G-d,
So unique, yet our task is one.
To reach those realms,
Become apart of the history only we could write,
Become the heroes, the generation seek to emulate,
This is our responsibility, our goal is in our sights.

We will make it through,
To the doubters, we pay attention none,
For it is our moment, we must seize the time,
For a moment is but only a second, just one,
We will grab the moment,
Ride away towards the crown,
We will stand tall at the finish line,
Hoping, we made, our General, G-d, proud
