Full Moon Shevat - A Judith Felsen Poem

Something happened as the moon blossomed

full and light filled, bursting with reflected light 

creating waves of currents not derived before…

the crest of energies, birthed, patterns signaling, triggering

a time where habits obsolete were shorn;

behaviors new created were emerged…

an era ended…all must change…

what was relied upon is over,

information’s source, the well is dry…

cosmic tunes deliver data 

based on new harmonics…

trials become norm

testing is routine…

have we switched from yoke of bondage

to Your yoke of Heaven?

Are we elevated to a higher plane of knowing?

Time will tell… 

All is different now

Change is not an option but imperative…

There is no past,

no footbridge on which to return…

from morning breath to

midnight snores

this world of action is transformed;

a place of hiding is now holy;

a place of ruining is now rebuilt;

all tikkun olam;

the yoke installed

no place to go but Home…

all is Yours

no me; 

only Us…
