INNER VOYAGER

YAFFA BARAN

I dedicate this book in the memory of my loving mother and to all the mothers who have endured the pain of losing their children to the ravages of war, terror, tyranny, and savagery.

I am grateful to the Creator for choosing me as a vessel to convey His glory and greatness through my poetry. I extend my heartfelt thanks to my family for believing in me—my brother for his unwavering support. My daughter played an essential role in designing the book's cover, and my son's suggestions have been invaluable. I owe a debt of gratitude to my dear friend Lida, who encouraged me to publish this collection, allowing my voice to be shared. Lastly, I extend my deepest thanks to my remarkable teacher, Dr. MichaelLaitman (Rav), whose tireless efforts have bestowed me with wisdom, fostering a sense of connection and unity through love. He has guided me on my journey of transformation into the collective soul of AdamHaRishon(FirstMan).

INTRODUCTION

Rather than recounting the details of my personal journey, I extend a heartfelt invitation for you to delve deep into the profound desires that form the foundation of my poetry. This is an invitation to enter the sacred inner chamber of my words, a place where rebellion, agony, and transformation reside. As you navigate through the rooms of this poetic dwelling, you'll uncover a part of yourself that may have long been forgotten —a reflection in the verses that transcends mere words.

In every layer of emotion, you might catch glimpses of your own soul mirrored in my verses, as if you were living my experiences. This shared connection between poet and reader opens a gateway to self-discovery and a deeper understanding of your inner yearnings, offering a chance to feel and experience your true self and your purpose through the prism of my words.

My ultimate aspiration is that this journey into my inner world touches the deepest recesses of your heart and soul, bringing forth the joy of rebirth. It doesn't matter what tumultuous paths you've tread or what bittersweet experiences life has offered, for each of these moments, be they bitter or sweet, weaves an integral thread in the rich tapestry of life.

I extend my love and gratitude to all of you; it is your presence that breathes life into my words. It is your willingness to accompany me on this journey through the labyrinth of human emotions, in all their raw and unfiltered forms, that fuels my creativity and drives my pen.

As you take this expedition through my verses, you may find yourself immersed in the raw essence of human existence, caught in the ebb and flow of love and pain, joy and sorrow, success and failure. Poetry is a vessel that transcends the boundaries of time and space, carrying us to places we've never been, allowing us to relive moments long past, and offering a glimpse of what the future may hold.

Each poem is a drop in the vast ocean of human experience, a testament to the myriad emotions and struggles that define our lives. Within these verses, you'll discover the resilience of the human spirit, the unbreakable bond of human connection, and the ever-evolving journey of self-discovery.

In the depths of these words, you might find solace for your own trials and tribulations, inspiration for your personal odyssey, and the strength to overcome whatever obstacles may come your way. This poetry is not just my story; it's a shared narrative of the human experience, a reflection of our collective dreams and desires.

In the darkest moments of despair, you'll find a glimmer of hope. In the embrace of pain, you'll discover the seed of resilience. And within the lines of my verses, you'll encounter the whispers of your own soul, calling out for exploration and understanding.

This poetic odyssey is an intimate dialogue between my heart and yours, an exchange of emotions and experiences that transcend the boundaries of language and culture. My words are a bridge, connecting us across the chasms of our individual lives, reminding us that we are never truly alone in our struggles and triumphs. We are with divine a loving force of bestowal.

So, as you embark on this journey through the vast landscape of my poetry, I invite you to immerse yourself fully in the emotions, the stories, and the dreams that unfurl before you. May you find solace, inspiration, and a profound connection with the human experience that unites us all, and may you emerge from this voyage with a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper understanding of your own desires, and a heart filled with the enduring love and compassion that binds us together.

TERRORISTS IN THE SHADOWS

The mother's sobbing rends humanity's core,

Her broken heart, a curse, haunts Terrorists evermore.

Anger shatters the walls of cruel genocide,

Her bleeding sorrow eclipses the Sun's bright tide.

Her hatred, an iron arrow, pierces malevolent hearts.

Savage terrorist, your dark existence departs.

Heaven weeps for every breath, every life you've taken,

Even hell's gates shun your face, now forsaken.

Satan himself, your existence does shame,

The wrath of God upon you, an eternal flame.

2023

THE DEVOURING NIGHT

A foggy night, pregnant with sin, a place both distant and close to home,

Silence whispers the tale of forgotten tribes, a history concealed in the gloom,

Cricket chirp, spinning the story of the lost bride in the shadowy night,

Silence in tow, their whistling takes flight, enveloped in eerie fright.

Darkness, immersed in silence, calls upon the dubious wind,

A wicked chill drills through the bones, and icy cloak in this desolate place

Laughter muffles, a ghost in the uninhabited ruins, a specter of the past,

Bats squeak in the mirage of scorched wood, in time’s echo, they’re cast.

A glowing dream catcher fades as the wolf’s moans intensify in the air’s decay.

A pulsating heart, entangled with the Curse of the Ninth, in the night’s eerie ballet.

The decomposed corpse screeches, trembling in the face of its fate,

Death devours the horror of the night, sealing its victims’ bleak state.

Time freezes, movement halts, and images dissipate, yet spirit liberates,

In this chilling realm of the unknown, where the shadows dedicated their fate.

2022

EGO’S DEFEAT

The bony hands of defeated ego knock upon your heart’s door,

The claws of misery scratch at the threshold of your mind’s core.

Evil inclination disguises itself, seeking refuge in your thoughts,

Yet you stand resolute, lifting the holy Shechina from the dust,

And you surrender to the unwavering power of LOVE.

2022

THE SANCTUARY OF GOD

I wandered through a winding alley of contemplation, seeking God’s grace,

Numerous enchanting doors emerged, from ages past to present embrace,

Gently, I knocked on each door, where faint whispers beckoned,

Obediently, I ventured forth, harboring no trepidation.

Resolute in my quest to uncover the divine countenance’s revelation.

Every realm's beauty seized my senses, an exquisite presence,

Enveloping me in the resonance of wisdom, chants, and self-discipline’s essence.

I found myself entranced, ensnared by its beguiling allure,

Yet not wholly ensnared, my thoughts retained their tether, secure.

As if an unseen hand guided me through this interconnected realm,

I heeded the call, "Join me," like a sleepwalking in a dream’s helm.

And extinguished the light behind an alluring “BB” door,

I embraced this magnificent abode, heart racing with anticipation evermore.

Discovering the Sanctuary of God, the Sanctuary of Love,

TheSanctuary of Friendship, the Sanctuary of Unity from below to above.

I felt His omnipotence, witnessed the splendor of the Lord’s embrace,

As time passed, my yearnings underwent a transformation, a divine grace.

A longing to serve the Almighty welled up within me, a sacred flame,

Growing stronger, I pledged myself as His steadfast companion, to proclaim.

Continuing along this sacred path, without a backward glance, I tread,

Joyous, I closed my mortal eyes, and followed my inner vision, where it led.

DeeperI go, my being yearns to be the queen of your kingdom,

Toward the celestial realm, I journey, in a spiritual anthem.

In the sacred sanctuary, my soul finds its eternal home,

AsI move closer to God, no matter where my feet may roam.

JOY IN ASHES

Trapped in the golden cage of ego’s sway,

Chained with beastly desires, night and day.

Evil camouflages amid ruins of our thoughts,

Fear follows the dark shadow, as if it’s never fought.

The rustic lock of Stoney's heart disintegrates,

Hope burns like a disfigured, melted candle at the gates.

Joy crumbles to ashes and conforms to dust’s might,

As help shirks with a creepy face, and courage takes flight.

Only the observer remains detached from self-conceit,

In their gaze, the inner truth they seek to meet.

In this unending quest for wisdom and inner grace,

They find solace in the stillness of the observer’s space.

2022

THE MASTER’S REDEMPTION

Master of the universe, bestow your glory upon the shattered hearts

Awaken your people from the abyss of night's haunting fears, where darkness departs.

Proclaim your holiness to the ten lost tribes, we implore,

Set forth and liberate us from Egyptian slavery once more.

Rescue us from the inner turmoil, from self-destruction’s snare,

For in your hands alone resides the key to salvation, locked gates,

Illuminate the darkness, reveal the evil inclination that does resides,

Within our very essence, let your light be our guide.

Purify us, that we may bask in your divine glory,

And let our souls sing of your eternal story.
