Rays of Healing
Rays of Healing
Those rays were promised
Healing ones
Like calves from the stall
Malachi had said.
And then that terrible gap
Over four hundred years
Jewry seemingly abandoned.
Greeks moved in
Besmirching the sacred.
Pulling down.
God frowned.
But the promise of those rays.
Withstood days and days.
Til David's City
Boasted the Hope of Ages
Under a beaming Star.
Brought shepherds close by.
Brought science's Sky.
And Men from afar.
Questioning.
Rejoicing.
