After Jehudah Halevi

How long will you remain a boy?

Dawns must end.

Behold the angels of old age.

Shake off temporal things then

the way a bird shakes off the night dew.

Dart like a swallow

                    from the raging ocean

of daily events

and pursue the Lord

in the intimate company

of souls flowing

                    into His virtue.

~Carl Rakosi
