It’s Right Here
Elana Horwitz
It’s hard to find a minute
But eight nights a year
She makes a moment
Turns her back on it all
The work the noise the chatter
Strides across the dark road
Escapes home
So she can look back
And see what it is she has
Whirls around, this drama her tradition,
Her moment.
The air is frost
Takes a deep shaky breath
Sees again. That it’s
Right Here
Here is her window
Hers, with dancing flames
Her life is music, warmth within
Her world is richness, Chanukah
Her home is energy, what powerful lights!
She smiles in the blackness, a woman alone
A woman blessed
An accomplished woman
A grateful woman, by the grace of G-d she lit them
