Angel Cards

A lotus shaped dish in my office
holds spiritual tidbits to sample
each bearing a picture and a word

in both English & Hebrew.

I watch joy, dismay or confusion
upon discovery of the tidings.
Strength. Patience. Wisdom. Hidden…
reaction revealing as much its message.

One card is simply white.
Some will turn it, and turn it again

thinking there's been some mistake,
their face asking "what have I done?"

Offering a sincere smile and genuine delight
I recall a dream: an envelope of white arrives
with no address or return, just the knowledge
somehow that it is for me.

Inside is an invitation with no print or image,

merely a folded card of pure light.
Excited to know what gala event I will attend
I unfold the page and reveal to my glee
that it is entirely blank.

The message is transparent:
You are Cordially Invited
To The Infinite.
