Sharcharis Musings

“Shacharis Musings"


As morning light little shines


in still wee hours before dawn’s rise


speak to Him before day begins


through visions of angels' eyes.



Praises of kindness and words proclaim


majestically soar o’er ocean sand


the majesty of Creator’s fame


know whom before doth thou stand.


Close thine eyes to worrisome day...


With shroud enwrapped o'er thee


bound both arm and head adorned


closer to Him a moloch be.


Ancient hopes on pages worn


in prayers long seen through tears,


awaken molochim early morn


to pray for length of years.



Examine each day ere too late,



In prayerful haste lest thou proceed



Secure a place at Heaven’s gate



Prey not upon man doth heed.
