“Your eyes are the sea
and fill the blanks of my story”
“If you return, if you dream, your image will recognize me in the night." (Juan Sanchez Pelaez: "Possession"; poem 9 from The Dawn and the Leopard, c. 2023)
The full moon, reminiscent of the First Night of Passover when the Jewish People Exited Egypt, sheds light within the darkness of night. If you return...from where? If you dream...of What? A fish dives back into the sea; a lion begins to appear symbolizing the Jewish Peoples' diving back into the Sea Of Torah. "Fill the blanks of my story". Search! A Rider (Mashiach Ben David?) is racing perhaps to announce the Redemption.
