Ahavatya David and Reut Schremer stand at the foot of a waterfall in Ein Gedi.
The roaring in my ears
As you fall so fast
A wonder, a beauty
I hope you last
Forever and endless
May your waters fall
The fall off a cliff
So high and so tall
They start way up high
And make their way down
As they fall
They make quite a sound
They reach the bottom
And waters gather
But stay, they do not
Move on they’d rather
The turn to a stream
So quiet, so calm
I sit with the water
Flowing over my palm
They stay a while
Then they too disappear
Falling off a cliff
Somewhat near
Forever and endless
May your waters fall
The fall off a cliff
So high and so tall
