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

on his poem Promised Land
The river that we cross we forget. The river that stops us is always there.
– Samuel Menashe,
on his poem Promised Land
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
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
Listen to my praise
Various as the seasons
Different as the days
All my treasons cease
When I see your face
– Samuel Menashe
