In The Big Orchard
Baal Hasulam
A king who took his darling son
And put him in his grand
And wondrous grove.
And when the son opened his eyes,
He did not look at the place
Where he stood,
Since due to the great light,
His eyes wandered far away,
As the east is far from the west.
And he cast his eyes
Only at the buildings and palaces
Far to his west.
Thus, he walked for days and months,
Wandering and wondering
At the glory and the grandeur
He was seeing to the west.
After some months,
His spirit rested
And his desire was fulfilled,
And he was satiated
From looking to the west.
He reconsidered and thought,
“What can be found along the way
I have traversed?”
He turned his face eastwards,
The side through which he’d come,
And he was startled.
All the grandeur and all the
beauty
Were right beside him.
He could not understand
How he has failed
To notice it thus far,
And clung only to the Light
That was shining to the west.
Then he became attached
Solely to the Light
That shines to the east,
And he was wandering eastwards
Until he returned right to the
entrance.
