v'zot ha b'ruchah

Moshe looked out from Moab's heights, across
the Jordan's waters flowing cold and sweet
then one last tête-à-tête with his big Boss
and his part of the story was complete
two paths diverge; the conquest's to the West
but we turn to the epic new begun
as Moses shuts his eyes and gets his rest
we contemplate Creation of the sun
the reading cycle starts another loop
dividing primal Chaos, making Light
as Joshua goes forward with his troop
the readers turning left as he goes right
it's cyclic and it's linear; strange world!
but that's how sacred history's unfurled
