Menorah

MENORAH

Willow of sanctuary,

Light of seven--

Reminds us in deepest  night

     Who rules the heavens.

Elegance of form and style--

Holy design

     from Moses to modern man

     continues to shine

Shapes and substance vary

     lost relics of gold--

But still the sacred thought

    turns faint hearts bold.
