Analysis of Wailing Wall
Jerusalem so pristine
Leaving prayers in the cracks
In the wall on paper,
Temple Light
David King and poet
Dark granite strong tomb
Synagogue Altar
Regal sepulchre TORAH
Spectacular Sunrise
On the Temple Mount
Nature’s Great surprise
Scholar’s delight Talmud
and Mezuzah Ten Commandments
on Mount Sinai
Moses most beautiful moment
Ethereal Angel messenger
Divine pronouncement
Translucent sign in Clouds
Tactile nutrition mannah
Gathered at dawn
Blessed for a million years
Shabbat Shalom Jehovah,
Yahweh and Adonai; Chasmod (Chumas)
Illuminessence for Noah’s Rainbow
God’s promise to never devastate
the earth again Dove
and olive branch
