Let Gentle Enter: A Poem


I wrote this poem while trying to feel into the blessing of shalom, inner peace, the end of birkat kohanim from this week's parsha (Parashat Naso) --   veyasem lekha shalom.  May God grant peace to each of us and to all of us.  


Let Gentle Enter

Let Gentle enter

And swim through your veins

Soothing and dissolving burrs

In a soft murmuring river

That cares not 

that you said the wrong thing

Or didn’t accomplish much

But just keeps flowing, unperturbed,

Over the jagged edged rocks and ledges of your soul,

Wrapping you in a slow spreading

Blanket of warmth

And the opening buds of

possibility
