within you, without you

the bird that flew above ben-Uziel
while he was davening went down in flames
although it's blameless, still its death befell
intruding on his focus on the Name
for Hillel, God looks out when he looks in
not somewhere in the firmament above
to localize Him thus would be to sin
'cause surely God is anywhere there's love
two Judaisms in the Rambam's scheme
one for adults, one for those not of age
that God is One's less clear than it would seem
although both sages studied the same page
one God on high's met by the inward gaze
just one more mystery among His ways
