Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

Vladislav Raven November 17, 2018 at 9:19 AM 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. Gershon Wolf November 17, 2018 at 10:19 PM Thanks for your kind words, Mike. Appreciated. Best wishes, Gershon

Chris Green November 16, 2018 at 2:20 PM I could visualize this poem as I read it. It was like an old black and white movie and that is so cool. really nicely done my friend. Keep'em coming. Gershon Wolf November 17, 2018 at 10:18 PM Interesting interpretation of this one. I'll do my best to 'keep 'em coming.' Smiles, Gershon
