Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Of True Enlightenment

True enlightenment
is revealed
at the top 
of the rungs
on the ladder
of your mind
as you ascend
from knowledge
to understanding
to wisdom
and with
a burst
of illumination
you reach
its splendid shore

Arturo Michael July 28, 2019 at 7:34 PM Hopefully in one piece...Nice one Gershon Wolf July 28, 2019 at 9:16 PM Oooh. A very intriguing comment, my friend... In our tradition, there were a number of 'geniuses' who tried to delve into the secret mysteries of Creation and the Next World--- and went off howling into the night. That bright light can be dangerous!! :) gw
