Lag Beomer Dance - Subscriber Poetry Inspiration 2024-25 Poem 8

I write on Thursday afternoon, hours before the evening comes to bring us Lag Beomer, the day we celebrate not just the stopping of Rabbi Akiva's students dying, but we celebrate the Torah. We celebrate its forever enduring word, its eternity, and we celebrate its depth, its richness.

I reached out to a very dear subscriber to ask him for this months' "Subscriber Poetry Inspiration" concept. After some discussions, we had a number of beautiful concepts ready for me to choose from. I am sharing the final piece with you now and I hope you enjoy it.

Have a wonderful week,

Your Friend,

Lag Beomer Dance - Subscriber Poetry Inspiration 2024-25 Poem 8
Despite the world trying to engulf you in darkness,
There is a fire burning inside your heart, spreading light and love,
Your friends join hands, dancing around this flame, with ease and grace,
They sing in harmony until dawn, softly comes.

This is not just any dance, in front of any old fire,
This is something all the more powerful,
It is a connection to the light of eternity, a flame of forever,
It's a connection to the Torah, a connection to G-d voice, a connection to His call.

The Torah is warm fire, softly keeping us safe, in a cold world,
Its a light unto our day, while the world lives in darkness,
The Torah is everything, it has everything, it is the blueprint of the world,
It is a flame of life, the embers of destiny, its sparks spread love around us.

We damce tonight, not just because we are together,
Not just because the music is playing,
We dance for the Torah, to celebrate its glory,
We dance towards redemption, to the day we are all still awaiting.

We dance with are brothers,
Warming the souls, reawakening the hearts,
Reclaiming our voice, that we never truly lost,
As we celebrate the Torah, which will always last.
