Roni Keidar

 

I heard you Roni Keidar

I felt your footsteps in a garden of Sinai

I heard the peace in your spring voice

And I felt in you the mystery of being in the other

While you receive your brothers from Gaza

and you become one with the human

*

I was in your kitchen in Sderot

And I carry you in the heaven of my soul

Tilde and light of my words

Blessed among the mothers of Israel

Blessed by your eyes that amaze

Your serene conscience

Your root of love under the sky of war

*

You are in my spirit Roni Keidar

And in our forest of life your name grows

Clarity that you sowed

gift of hope

Your hand in Maha's hand

Your hand on the tree of peace
