B'midbar
A constant presence
Speaks to me from everywhere
You are my shelter
Naso
With hands raised in prayer
Summon the ancient blessings
Showering God's grace
Shavuot
Untethered by loss
Pledging her fidelity
She reaps love's harvest
B'haalot'cha
Wanderers, observe
My ethereal wonders
Onward - tekiah
Sh'lach L'cha
Choose leaders wisely,
Be reflective and mindful
To this we aspire
Korach
Repurposed firepans
Of extinguished challengers
An ALTAR-ation
Chukat
My siblings are gone
A dire impulse strikes my fate
The mantle will pass
Balak
Legions of conquests
Through hostile territories
Fulfilling God's plan
Pinchas
Major and minor
Israelites all recorded
We now know their names
Matot
A stunning journey
Connecting dots to Canaan
God's cartography
Mas'ei
War and wandering
Plunder and vast pillaging
Bye bye, wilderness
