Softly, As Darkness Descends

She enters softly, as darkness descends Her movements regal, welcomed by friends And worshippers in temples and homes Acknowledging her presence with songs and poems Sends ahead two angels, to every Sabbath table Hoping to find candles lit, a home ready and able To greet her as royalty deserves to be greeted ~ The Sabbath Queen -- Radiant! -- whose glory is feted

Hi Gershon, another wonderful write from your pen. Like Chris I found the images to be strong, painted by such gentle words. This is my first read today and I am so glad it is. Have a wonderful Saturday. Your friend always....Mike.

Interesting interpretation of this one. I'll do my best to 'keep 'em coming.' Smiles, Gershon
