Ruth Goldfarb Poems

'Twas the only star of evening a shining through the night.
'Twas the only star of evening that assured me in my plight.
Surrounded by the darkness, a kindled by the night,
Yet the darkened reaches of evening could not blot out its light.
...

Fallen spirits seeking grace, at the expense of innocent souls to be replaced.
Parasitic striving to the highest place, indifference to crying from the righteous striving.

Innocent souls crying out in space, please help us stay, for we obeyed.
...

Across the heavens where the only sound, is that of a hymn in glory bound.
For He cares and hears our every prayer, beyond despair He is always there.
No matter how feeble our reach, He will extend a hand for each to grasp even in spite of His wrath.
...
