ninth day

we have completed Hanukkah
we prayed
we sung
we sung our prayers
while
gifting more light
to Earth
to match our own delivered
through a miracle

we dined
we played
we
lived in gifts by the divine
while
(or in)
gifting each other

and
no
that is not everything
and as must return
to the rest

nonetheless added to
or changed by
reminding
of the greatest good
that life
comingling Earth and pardoned
paradise
allow

c l couch


(an offering inspired and I hope not insensitive or simply wrong)
