Emunah

.
Living here
   is a sojourn
      to Emunah.¹

Up and down every mountain,
   through every valley, and sometimes
      dead ends,
Emunah is the prize
   not within our grasp,
      but with His help we
         can grab its brass ring,
And know, though
   we can't see or feel it,
      or understand it at all,
God's doing something great.

And there, if need be,
   we must fall.
