TO SPEAK AT THE MOMENT OF ILLUMINATION

TO SPEAK AT THE MOMENT OF ILLUMINATION
 

A morning prayer for Rabbi David Buzaglo, a great Moroccan liturgical poet 

1^st version
I’ll allow myself to say
something springs inside me when I hear your name
I’ll allow myself to say
the nectar of my love overflows your doorstep
come out of the corner
to the center of the stage
Rabbi David Buzaglo
something inside me springs toward the echo of your notes
following myself I reached you
Rabbi David Buzaglo.
 
2^nd version
Come out of the corner
to the center of the stage
Rabbi David Buzaglo
in my memory of you
my heart is a tree planted besides streams of water*
following myself I reached you
then found my face in yours
and the esteem in all my dreams about you
you and I out of the honey dipper
you I met at the moment of illumination**.
