NFTY is
finding yourself in a blackened cave
then remembering the flashlight you nonchalantly placed in your pocket
or a guitar who’s tattered strings
are repaired after endless strumming
when a rubber band’s mind is stretched to its capacity-
then is suddenly relieved of the pressure
a best friend that you’ve known an entire two months
or a prayer that clearly speaks
when all others don’t make sense
a hand who’s palm can fit the weight of the world
even a star in the night sky
that stands solitarily,
but is powerful enough
to light up the entire world.
