#blogElul 2: Act
September 05, 2016
Think of you
with every action.
If I knew
you were watching
would I change
what I do?
Will you nod,
proud of me
and my backbone
or my kindness
or sigh and
shake your head
that I caved
when a bully
pushed too hard,
that I forgot
my best intentions
and fell short?
All I want:
for my acts
to find favor
in your eyes.
I'm participating again this year in #blogElul, an internet-wide carnival of themed posts aimed at waking the heart and soul before the Days of Awe. (Organized by Ima Bima.) Read #blogElul posts via the Elul tag; you might also enjoy my collection of Elul poems which arose out of #blogElul a few years ago, now available in print and e-book form as See Me: Elul poems.
