Open Our Eyes


She peeks into the valley
From which all she can see.
Silence seeps into the night.

Unassured,
She obscures behind the dark curtain.
Giving them time to conceit,
To relax from all their troubles.

Once the hour has come,
She wakes up everyone,
By slowly transmitting her rays.

This poem is about the sun coming out after night, a metaphor for the future redemption with Moshiach since we are taught that the darkest part of the night is right before the dawn, just as the darkest part of our exile is right before Moshiach is revealed. We just need to open our eyes, be ready to greet him, and then we will truly be able to enjoy the rays of Moshiach.
