on 11 nissan year 5770 we celebrate the rebbe's 108th birhday and began saying psalm 109.
this poem is based on the words van tiffila in that psalm....
V'ani Tiffila....
vani sifila....in the words of the great one, king david he said "as for me ... i am a prayer."..
prayer as a bird with wings the head is a yud... the first letter of g-d's name...
the body a vov and its two two wings like a heh below and above..
flapping with love and fear for the one above..together they spell out g-d's holy name...
when i walk in the street ...or in the path of life... though temptation does make my heart, heat...
or doubt and worry makes it skip a beat...when i feel like a bird down on the ground stuck in the mud...... my wings dirty, in crust... about to give up for i cannot fly ... my heart is in love.... but it seems g-d forbid...not with the one up above ...
then suddenly all becomes clear...as a flash in my mind...i hear and understand...that but with one prayer .. is all that i need..i begin to pray and sway... i say;
..."oh g-d hear me please, help.... i wish to belong to thee .......... alone and complete ..to serve u with perfect love is my only real hearts desire..'....the rest is just mire...again. ....
"g-d" i cry out... "please ..oh please set me free and fulfill my true hearts need".
then suddenly as it all began ...it ends..i begin to flap... for hashem has heard my heart...he has helped me over come the trap...i soar higher out of the muck .. away from the muddy net into g-d's holy tent...His presence felt in ...a garden... a temple ....a sacrifice...a place... in the present tense....in you...
so if life seems to be to much to beat...its heat and ...its trials and tests .. a snare...
remmember oh please that help is near ... it is already here...for but with only a single prayer away... before even uttered ... it is already heard... .for good.....for g-d hears the prayer and answers it before it is even said ...
indeed what do you think....who do you think even put the prayer into your head before it was even said.....?
