Hardened Hearts
Rabbi Linda Shriner-Cahn
ת ו כ מ ה ר ש
ע The Ten Plagues
A field of hearts Cracked open . Hardened
Shards covering an open field . Unrecognizable Once beating , caring giving Rage breaking them asunder .
Who did this ? Why ? Who will mend all of the brokenness ? The pain , the anguish
Pharoah heart hardened , His own will ? Maybe not Blind to his people , Wanting glory above all else Refusing to lose Winning at all costs
Until the abyss The death of a child Love and loss intertwined .
It feels like the abyss . Is staring at us
