siphorot (spirit)

Impeccable sparks

bubbles bursting

dancing in shadows of their own destiny.

And this divine vitality

spills Light and Life

washing ohr  and shalom,

while somewhere balanced between the angels and the animals,

our souls leap about this sublime cycle

where below becomes above,

where a heartfelt bow sanctifies the wheel,

where a deep breath enriches the sky.

Then ensues procreation,

then emanation,

until all come to understand

joy, simha, is as essential as innocence,

and truth, emet,

defines all that comprises purity:

all that is sculpted from siphorot:

and all that is blessed by breathing siphorot.
