season of night
night is not just waiting for light
it's a time when stars shine
when fires glow
sleep
there is no fear, because for you,
"night is as clear as day, darkness and light are the same"
so what do i say, what do i do?
i won't ask for a brighter moon
i only ask that you call the sun to rise right on time
astound me with beauty as you bring forth the day
give me rest in the night
dreams, visions, guidance
i await your light, but find joy in the night
and as soon as you say, i will run with you in the day
"Who among you fears Adonai?
Who obeys what his servant says?
Even when he walks in the dark, without any light
he will trust in Adonai's reputation and rely on his God."
-Isaiah 50:10
"No more will the sun be your light by day,
nor will moonlight shine on you;
instead Adonai will be your light forever
and your God your glory.
No longer will your sun go down;
your moon will no longer wane;
for Adonai will be your light forever;
your days of mourning will end.
All your people will be tzaddikim (righteous)
they will inherit the land forever;
they will be the branch I planted,
my handiwork, in which I take pride.
The smallest will grow to a thousand,
the weakest will become a mighty nation.
I, Adonai, when the right time comes,
will quickly bring it about."
-Isaiah 60:19-22
