Yitro

the public revelation shook the ground
and no two could agree quite what they'd heard
cacaphony of light and flash of sound
as each strove to accept the Perfect Word
but Moses got a private interview
encountering the godhead face-to-face
without a warning to respect the fence
as he knelt barefoot in that sacred space
"two Judaisms" quoth Maimonides
'cause some intuit while the rest need rules
two revelations, but reality
is One beneath the sundry paths and tools
each brain is captive in its bony pod
but intellect soars free to reach towards God
