Yonah Is Not Standing Where Only God Is
YONAH IS NOT STANDING WHERE ONLY GOD IS
(WRITTEN AFTER READING AVIVAH ZORNBERG'S CHAPTER ON ‘YONAH' IN HER BOOK ‘THE MURMURING DEEP')
Yonah is not standing where only God is-
He is praying from his belly
He does not want to live-
All the great fishes and the great sailors of the sea
Cannot understand what Yonah cannot be-
The time has come
The moment is here
God alone can answer Yonah's fear-
Nineveh is saved with twelve-thousand men
But Yonah's gourd has disappeared again-
Life is a longing and life is a prayer
Life's an enigma though God everywhere.
