Gates of Hope

Gates of Hope
Hebrew Calligraphy


So he made two doors of olive-wood; and he carved
upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and
open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he
spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the
palm-trees.
1 Kings 6:32

My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna-flowers
In the vineyards of En-gedi.
Song of Solomon 1:14

For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory
thereof as the flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower falleth ....
1 Peter 1:24

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the
word of our God shall stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8


It reads it says it inscribes
like a flower bed an embellished graffiti-—

It starts off in an open arch
it builds angelic and angular curves unto
a quotation mark of smallest punctuation--

Hovering in the air like a bird
next to Tree of Life that grows on to
A final Resurrection of Peace and Double U
where floral cups of almonds and lilies
pomegranate henna and olive
may stand out in pairs and Trinity
in twos and threes of golden gold
just adjacent to good luck lock
that closes your view from insides
to Shaara Tiekwa Synagogue in Lisbon.
