Bein Kirot Beiti (Within My Walls)

Bein Kirot Beiti (Within My Walls)

Here within my walls
Everything is shut
And no one will intrude
Faced with my silent walls, not a whisper will enter
Within the borders of my home
No obstacle lies
Within the room’s many paths
No sun will burn
And no shadow will dim
And no storm will gush
And no rain will wash
And no small opening will frighten
And not a thing can burn my walls
For everything is protected
From any menace at the gate
Within my walls
There is no one who will leave
Here within my walls
Silence lurks
Grey and comforting
Against the threatening street
Is a drawn curtain and candlelight
Here within my walls there is a memory,
letter under the door
And not a voice to cry
And not a soul to answer
And no pain will remain
For my walls are a comforting white
And there are no stains of blood
Or bruises
Or tears of the heart
Of course all is foretold – you know
Within the walls no flower
Will wilt before its time
