“The Heron Knows”

The city-mind in flourishing chaos
no longer can they see—

the world as we knew it
has left.

The mind opens
to Exaltation,
the heart
begs
for Forgiveness.

The Blue Heron
flies slow
through the wetlands,

as God
dreams
beneath our feet.

About Todd Greenberg

Through prayer, worship, Torah Study, and Kabbalah I have been inspired to write poetry that tends more to the spiritual and mystical aspects found in Judaism. What comes "through" me I try to put into words. I hope that at least some of what I post to BJN will resonate with you and that you find inspiration from it for your own journey. Thank you for allowing to share my writings. Blessings, Todd
