Happiness Comes Wholly from the Heart

December 3, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Hanukkah, which began at sundown on December 2nd and will end at sundown on December 10th.

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

A Hanukkah poem using the Hanukkah candles as a metaphor for happiness:

Happiness comes wholly from the heart,
A light within illuminating darkness.
Now the candles flicker, now they flare,
Undulating feeling lighting where
Knowledge must give way to faith and art,
Kindled by the sense that gloom is senseless,
And love can make a song even of sadness,
Harmony in which one sings one’s part.
