As chilly nights
Churn cold winds
And unclothed trees
Hold branches
In a yearn
To huddle near,
Cherish the fleeting
Flowing moments
Of memory’s chalices
Filling with cheer,
As a child
Chants a prayer
And gently lights
History’s challenge
To despair
Lack
And fear.

Nothing beats a child’s cheer!
Indeed! 🙂
I like the gentle lights from a child meeting history’s challenges.
Thank you, Frank!
And what challenges the young will meet have a lot to do with the histories we’d leave for them to manage …
Oh, I LOVE those “unclothed trees!”
Thank you, Whimsy! 🙂 I can’t help but think of the poor trees, shivering in their bare branches through the cold winter. Brrr … 😉 Na’ama
A beautiful image and words of hope dear Na’ama 🙂💖 xxx
Thank you my dear! The hope of any future essentially rests on the gentle shoulders of the young, doesn’t it? xoxo Na’ama
Bery ethereal and gentle…
Thank you, Rob!
I like this gentle lighting to meet history’s challenge.
Thanks, Merill! 🙂
More than one way to look at history … or its challenges … or the challenges TO history … And children will lead us all. Happy Holidays and thank you for the comment! Na’ama
