Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Jacob - Israel's - Ladder

Angels ascend
      winging their way up the ladder

    At the top, the Almighty
      Ruler of corporeal and spiritual matter

    Jacob - at the bottom - stands on two feet
      His mind in the heavens, seeking the Godhead to meet

Connie Marcum Wong July 20, 2022 at 2:17 AM I can imagine Jacob’s dream left an indelible memory in his mind. I have had a few dreams that have stayed with me over 50 years. I have always loved that story of Jacob’s ladder as the ladder ascends through the clouds. I enjoyed your poem Gershon. Blessings xxoo

Michael Tor July 20, 2022 at 1:04 AM Great story Gershon. If Jacob were alive today he would be a firefighter. My attempt at bad humor... lol Gershon Wolf July 21, 2022 at 8:44 PM Were Jacob a firefighter, he could slide down 'Is-rail.' (His rail). Groan, I guess, eh?! Thanks, Michael
