Have a Happy Hanukah

December 11, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is light and darkness, in honor of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, which begins on December 13.

Today’s poem is a Hanukkah poem about lighting the Hanukkah lights both without and within.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Have a happy Hanukkah

And light the dancing lights!

Now bright Heaven’s harbinger

Undoes the long, cold nights.

Kindle on your windowsill,

Kindle in your heart,

A symbol of a miracle,

Here to light the dark.
