Do I really need this place we cal-l home?<br />
I have come to the conclusion: yes<br />
the foreign eyes intimidate me; I am marked,<br />
the lonely man arouses fear in me; I am lonely:<br />
The comfortable feeling that shapes my body to the<br />
hills, is panicking in displacement,<br />
And I wonder, questioning my independence<br />
In necessity of those loving hands, blazing sun,<br />
and cool translucent nights<br />
In search of a place to plant my feet,<br />
dirty my hands, and rest my head.<br />
I shiver at the realization: I have found<br />
the loving hands of G-d -- His omnipotent spirit<br />
His burning soul, and His peaceful eyes.<br />
I plant my feet in the heart of it,<br />
I dirty my hands in the knowledge there,<br />
and I rest my head at the Western Wall.<br />
As true as the sand, my body finds its<br />
curves<br />
in the stones of Jerusalem<br />
-Robyn F. Kapp<br />
