Our Chanukah Menorah
Our Chanukah Menorah
Inhaling sparked air, candlestick wicks,
Exhaling gold leaping tongues,
Hypnotize more than magic tricks,
Sharing a story, singing songs,
8 illumined nights lighting 36,
Freeing us from "Yavan" wrongs,
Swallowing, hallowing, glowing licks,
Releasing an infinite light the world longs,
Flames flickering "Shalom", a "Tikun Olam" fix,
Assuring the throng all men belong,
Trust, peace, hope, no gimmicks!
As the Sensations of The sound of silence, combustion song,
The Subtle smell of fresh burning oil or wax mix
With the seen Shape of gulping flames oblong,
Taste of butter, caramel & vanilla sticks,
Are among the many reactions of each among
Us - on the menorah watch inspired by the ignited fanatics!
