night folds its endless hands— shadows stretch & scatter (aching) for warmth for a flicker. a mother whispers prayers, her voice a cradle— soft syllables swaying against the weight of exile’s wind. one wick, then another— then eight: flames lean into each other, (dizzy with hope) (drunk with remembering). oil scarce as breath, yet its story unfolds: a temple reclaimed a heart unbroken. the menorah blinks its quiet Morse code: endure. endure. endure. children spin tops— letters clinking...

Premium Member A Holiday Rainbow
A rainbow not just Christmas lights, why not, menorah light? An Advent wreath of billowing candles, a black harmonic Quanzaa light, or Ramadan lantern’s haloes white? Diversity is a rainbow, colors of the world impressed upon hearts of generosity and faith during the happiest, blessed days of the year. Colors of red, brown, yellow, white; mixed hues refracting joyous spirits. A generous, sharing, caring, feeding, warming, loving, singing, ever so warm and bright time. Pastels, chromatics, bold and intense; painted upon a...

Hanukkah, a Jewish Holiday
Hanukkah, A Jewish Holiday Hanukkah, lighting lights. Gather near; blessed night. Give to God all thanks with heads bowed. Holy Temple protected somehow. Maccabees prayed to Thee. Praise God, Macedonia is free. Rebel troops won the sod. Thanks to God. Holy God. Bring the Shamash, and light a light. Candles glow bright eight days, eight nights. Father guided the way. Father guarded our stay. Holy God....
