The river that we cross we forget. The river that stops us is always there.

on his poem Promised Land

Voyage

Water opens without end
At the bow of a ship
Rising to descend
Away from it

Days become one
I am who I was

– Samuel Menashe

Promised Land

At the edge
Of a world
Beyond my eyes
Beautiful
I know Exile
Is always
Green with hope –
The river
We cannot cross
Flows forever

– Samuel Menashe

O many named beloved

Listen to my praise
Various as the seasons
Different as the days
All my treasons cease
When I see your face

– Samuel Menashe
