Sonnet/Prayer by Esther Cameron


ROSH HASHANAH
 
Tomorrow -- day of judgment and creation!
Our lives and the world’s life are on the scale.
We shall approach and wait with trepidation
To learn if good or – better -- will prevail.
And You – You wait for us to crown You King,
To hearken, each within their little sphere,
To Your instruction, till Your pathways bring
Us all together, and Your plan appear.
Send us your strength, that we may send You ours
To make Your inward goodness manifest
In shape that can face down the outward powers
That storm this world, our faith and will to test,
Even as we see You through the screen, and hear
Your voice above all noise of lesser fear.
