ECHOES

THE SUKKAH

Where do you feel safest?

Where do you feel most secure?

Where do you feel enveloped by a love that will endure?

Is it inside a fortress, with solid walls of stone?

Is it inside your cozy, heated home?

I sit in my small hut now, beneath a velvet sky

With walls that sway so softly against the gusts outside

It might be slightly chilly

It might be small and damp

But these walls provide all that a fortress can’t

In a world of uncertainty 

With seen and unseen threats 

It’s within these four small sukkah walls

That I feel safest yet
