On this night the 9th of AV, I lay and cry for the rebuilding of our temple. It says, “For every sickness there’s a cure and for every exile there’s a redemption.” On the day of destruction of our sacred temple there was born the builder and redeemer of hope for a better tomorrow. Not to focus on annihilation and destruction. Concentrate on the rebuilding and redemption.
For some it’s hard to imagine and conceive the temple. It is something so far beyond our realm of imagination and fantasy. For this we cry. We cry for our tears to be real and true.
Do we stand in synagogue and lament for our sins when the next day it’s forgotten? When we are poignant on our sins and wrong doings, then we conceive this hope and faith, to learn of our misdeeds and our actions. Forever.
On this day we read the past and look at the future. Where we stood and where were going to stand, we know our challenges and fights.
It’s not to be happy but sad for the future, for the better.

Here's a little something I wrote on the topic.
Loves' answer is the unforgettable essence of freedom.
We believe not in our self but in the other.
We come to know who we are, and we realize the other.
We come to know them and then to love them.
A reason is a weakness.
For true love is far beyond reason.
The answer lies in its truth.
Devote our being.
Become forever.
Remain intact and our hearts pure.
Love is where our soul takes rest in the other.
We desire its intimacy, for we long its touch, its voiceless cry.
Its unheard pitch, and rising tempo.
We can’t rush but wait.
Our emotions rise as we sit and cry together.
We hold hands through all the pain.
We know not just the others struggle, but our own.
For we all love, love.

Dying Star
My dying star of hope forever lies within and sanctifies the truth.
O’ star of glory you have shown so brightly for so long took us through dark and lead us to the light of hope.
Never to forget, hard to remember.
For when you die who will ever shine as bright as you.
Star of faith. Star of fantasy.
I lay beneath you as you twinkle me a song, my song.
I have not forgotten the day I lay there before I knew you existed.
Have we not all once looked up and stared into your eyes, tried to dream, fathomed you.
But like all of life we are mortal.
Death may extinguish your light.
For me it has only made it greater.
Your light shines so ever brighter in my heart.
O’ dying star when you crash and fall, its my heart and soul where you crawl.
Here's some music I wrote for this piece. Enjoy!
