Gershon Wolf Poet Monorhyme

Messages of Liberation

Hopes and prayers soar in aspiration
  In this season of heightened anticipation  
When diverse cultures in our great nation
  Await their holidays with eager expectation

Channukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa -- in ideation
  All Festivals of Light, their candles lit with jubilation
In awareness of their symbolic inspiration
  Fervent flames proclaiming messages of liberation 

Midst the darkness of December's nocturnal hibernation
  And from its accomanying spiritual malaise and dislocation --
Blazing a path to renew mankind's powers of imagination
  Rekindling our sense of wonder at God's purposeful Creation

Chris Green November 30, 2018 at 2:07 PM So would the Christmas tree be considered...vegetation? :) Well crafted my friend. Gershon Wolf November 30, 2018 at 2:09 PM Well, in one sense, yes. In its metaphysical sense (whatever that means), however, I'd venture that it represents 'adoration' or 'rejuvenation.' Best of the season, Chris. And thank you, again and again, for all of your encouragement. :) gw
