Sabbath Prayer

There are two candles burning in a bowl in my room,
yours was lit for Mohamed,
mine for the Shechinah.

As our prayers move heavenward,
the wax streams meet.
Soon, when the flames flicker and fade,
only a river will remain.

Note: In Jewish tradition the Shechina represents the Feminine aspect of G-d
