Chanukah Licht

[Chagit]

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That hums and sings a lilting tune

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That dances in the shadows of the moon

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That whispers of hope, triumph and light

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That enables and propels us to fight

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That illuminates the darkest of places

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That reflects on everyone’s faces

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That hints at ideas that are lofty and deep

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That begs us its heritage to keep

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

And as I ponder what the something may be

I look at the candles and take in the sight

And realize the something I see

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

It’s the flame that we have in our soul

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

It makes us feel so loved and whole

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

It’s there and I promise it’s real

There’s something about the Chanukah licht

That I can’t tell you, but you can feel

So sweet! I just started reading Why We Rejoice (a week late, I’m catching up) and your poem and the sefer seem to complement each other so beautifully.

Beautiful, Chagit! I love the rhythm!

[Anagrammer]

This is gorgeous, Chagit! I love the rhythm; It’s the perfect “feel” for a poem about the Chanukah licht.

That last line- so true! What is that feeling? Trying to pin point it—is it hope? Faith?
