about
From a prayer, in the singular, chanted by the cantor during the High Holidays (where are you? right here)
lyrics
Empty Me
Interactive song-poem
Here I am planted in front of You
And my conspirators in prayer
To pray for myself and on behalf of my community
Some of the people here I know I love them
Some of the people here I don't know I love them too
Empty me
Of obstacles
What separates me
From everything I love the most
I am a vessel an instrument
A harp on the edge of the bed
A northern wind blowing through me
Play me like a harp a flute an oud
Empty me
Of obstacles that obstruct
Add here your own obstacles and when you do
Take a moment to name them
What separates you from G*d
And everything you love the most
As for me
I will love as purely and as whole as I can
That my prayers my actions my life
Might be rescued from the externals
We will never lose our yearning
We will never settle for less
With all our songs our poems and prayers
Bless us O G*d
One G*d
Unclaimed G*d
Lonely G*d
Empty me
