Crow In, Crows Out


                            To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

This is from the short lived poet and paratroper Hannah Senesh

A walk to Caesarea

My God, My God,
I pray that these things never end,
The sand and the sea,
The rustle of the waters,
Lightning of the Heavens,
The prayer of Man,

The voice called, and I went.
I went, because the voice called.

Alon, thanks for the lovely poem and link. Yes, she was one of the righteous, that's for sure.

Don't you mean crows in, crows out?

Anon: No, there's one (fake) crow inside, three outside. Guess I'd better go put a comma in the title if that'd make it clearer?
