Rosh Hashanah – a poem by Zoë Glimcher

Rosh Hashanah 

The new year came
And with it the rain,
The rain on my face
And the revelation too:

Tingling magic
In prickling droplets.
I looked up at God, 
In the billowing gray.

It came back like a song,
As it danced through my soul.
It's back again like a sigh,
Baruch Hashem.
