Fleeing from Egypt,
Nachshon Ben Amichai was the first
to march into the Sea,
Before Moses with his staff,
before Aaron with his rod,
before Miriam with her timbral,
before the waves themselves
had parted.
Where did he get the chutzpah?
From where the nerve, the verve?
You have to wonder - when
it's so difficult, sometimes,
To make a simple decision.
Maybe he could hear
The Divine pounding
Pounding inside.
