Teshuva

There is withdrawal made of fear

It is accessible and clear

It seems so far but is so near

Easy to ride and light to steer

*

There is repentance wrought of Love

It sounds easy but is tough

It never, never has enough

Of things both beatiful and rough

*

Easy to mount but hard to steer

So full of longing, yet austere

And once you launch, you never know

Wherever such love makes you go.
