By the Grace of G-d

Close

Higher than anything you can imagine,
far away.

Flung down
Very far down.

Life can be like that,
sadness that brings us closer.

Souls can be like that,
way up high, close to G-d;
then flung far down,
so far from where souls used to be,
but so close to where souls can be.

Strike a match,
watch the flame dance.

The soul, a spark inside us,
let it dance and
bring the whole world
close to G-d.

Far from where it used to be,
so close to where it can be.
