Jerusalem Time is invisible at night— the sound of premonition echoes in the dark, thousand years ahead of eclipse, and every night we give ourselves, as if we found something precious that it overwhelms all our wishes. That star drifts above the black smoke. Our loneliness is fading away. The answer dwells in flickering flames beyond the waters, mists, and dust, showing us the meaning of trust, expecting a miracle at dawn, and we, reading the lines of lights through the centuries of mysteries, want to feel each other again, we’d like to taste this second— time of a miracle when truth emerges in between echoes of explosions, on the other side of alone.
