The shofar strains to be heard听
Amongst the loudness of war
Under rockets听
Under wails
Can you even hear her this year?
We used to think she was boisterous
Her voice would resound.听
But even storms with their thunders听
Are hardly heard now.听
The shofar strains to speak, 鈥渨ake up.鈥
How do we hear
When her voice is so soft?
It鈥檚 still and small- a whispering thought.
鈥渋s she even there,鈥 I wonder inside鈥
Or are we the shofar this time?
