Warm sand trickles through my toes;
\n<\/span>White, luminescent clouds fill the sky,
\n<\/span>Protect me from the burning desert sun.
\n<\/span>I march with the thousands of my tribe.<\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot see the two acacia arks;
\n<\/span>One holds the sets of the Divine Words,
\n<\/span>And in the second ark, the bones
\n<\/span>Of Grandmother\u2019s grandfather.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sitting on Grandmother\u2019s knee,
\n<\/span>She would stroke my long, black hair,
\n<\/span>Her wrinkled, leathery hands calloused
\n<\/span>From a lifetime of back-breaking work,
\n<\/span>And tell me stories of her grandfather.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her eyes twinkled when telling me
\n<\/span>How her grandfather taught her to form letters
\n<\/span>(Unlike Egypt\u2019s hieroglyphs),
\n<\/span>But she would brush something from her cheek
\n<\/span>When she told
\n<\/span>How her grandfather was thrown into the pit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grandmother\u2019s palms, deeply lined, turned heavenward.
\n<\/span>Sitting on her lap, I gazed into her dark, heavy-lidded eyes;
\n<\/span>In front of them past generations danced.<\/span><\/p>\n

I danced with Grandmother
\n<\/span>When we crossed the Reed Sea
\n<\/span>And joined Miriam in her Song.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now, I tell my children her tales
\n<\/span>While through the wilderness we trek
\n<\/span>Back to the Land,<\/span><\/p>\n

With Moses\u2019 Commandments
\n<\/span>And the bones, unearthed from the Past,
\n<\/span>Of Grandmother\u2019s grandfather.<\/span><\/p>\n
