Eretz Yisrael


 

The ancient tree struggled to survive

challenges to its heritage of the land

claimed as its very own through the authority

of divine recognition, the intervention of a

belief and a faith as guarantor it would be

its own as a timeless landscape of light

in a world of darkness. Until its roots were

severed and its branches sought refuge

elsewhere, everywhere haunted and hunted

forever yearning to return to the fabled

land torn from its grasp. Time is said to

heal all wounds as it ushered the tree back

to health, re-establishing roots recalling

branches to return and the land flourished

calling out as a haven to all its lost souls

the oppressed and the persecuted to come

and we will honour the past to preserve

the future yours to treasure forevermore.
