You Are A Sukkah

If there is a place called truth
It’s called a Sukkah
Where we live in a booth

The walls are flimsy
And you have leaves as a roof

You see through and through
Not just to the stars
But to the essence of you

Who are you?
You are not white or black
Nor tan, brown, or blue
You are not the image in the mirror
Despite your age, you are not old or new
You are not what you have
And most importantly
You are not you

So who are you
You are a flimsy, frail
And transient booth

Hidden within
The booth’s vulnerability
And insecurity
Is a certain mystery

When you dwell you begin to sense
A magical majestic presence
Of an ineffable essence
Temporary in nature
But in reality transcendence

So if you want to know the truth
You are you through and through
The one and only human booth!
