Piyut Bo
Shemos 13:16 And it shall be for a sign upon your hand and for ornaments between your eyes, for with a mighty hand did the Lord take us out of Egypt.
And it shall be for a sign upon your hand
Never to depart from memory in the land
Deliverance and then walking on the sand
Into the place of my holy mountain
To worship there like a fountain
Sending your prayers to heaven
Holding the bread without leaven
Awakening Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov
Leaving behind the darkness in which we wove
Letting go now all that for Hashem’s treasure trove
Be mindful the head of all months today
Eventful throughout your generations to say
For with a mighty hand the Lord did take
Our people miraculously out of Egypt to make
Revelations where unto his people he did wake
A gift sure pure and precious Torah we will find
Sinai calls to each of us right now
Inside to free us from illusion somehow
Giving our very thoughts to Hashem above
Never doubting that supreme divine love.
Up there a voice that we will hear
Pressing upon us with awe and fear
Our understanding reaches on high
Nothing can stop our freedom to fly
You listen deeply and are wise
Ornaments between your eyes
Under thy wings we play
Ready for Mashiach today
Hear Oh Israel the Lord is One
All perfection complete earth and sun
Needing only thy direction to go
Deliverance is thy way to show.
Mark Siet
