Lee Diamond – Angels on Bikes
Mel Alexenberg describes the phenomenon
With the above title.
“Angels on bikes”
Yom Kippur!
Everywhere in Israel
A day uttered by God
Like nothing else
Holy Holy Holy
On a different plane
In a different sphere
Even higher than Shabbat
Shabbat ha Shabbatot
Treading toward “Keter”
“The Sublime”
All the hosts of heaven
Descend from their holy places
And occupy our space
Our very paths of movement
Are dense with these angels of peace
Not visible not touchable
But pervasive
Ofanei HaKodesh
The guardians of God’s holy throne
Drive His celestial chariot
And fill our paths, our roads
And none can enter this space
Without being encompassed by
The Holy , Holy Holy
Ofanim on Ofnayim
Angels on Bikes
Messengers from on High
Teaching us
Encompassing us
With “God made” Holiness
Extending their protection
To US
The peace that we seek
And the peace that we are promised
From SHALOM Himself
Surrounds us
Heaven descends
Upon us
Carried on the wings of
The angels on bikes
Walk on their heels
Smile at these innocent
Angels
They are the emissaries
Of the Divine
Take them into our souls
Yom Kippur! Israel!
Frown not at those innocents
They know not
But they carry
שלום on their
Bikes
