Poetry prompt today was to write about Friday - and it is just what I need. This week has left me tired, more than usual, glad for a shift in energy. Time to restore.


Friday Evening Falls

Friday evening falls like gentle
rain, purifies weary mind.
Shabbat .enters home,
quiet, calm, reminds me
to rest, appreciate, be.

What a week you've had, Victoria. I'm glad Shabbat brings you peace. Enjoy your weekend with your family. Hope you'll share your Thursday reading with us when you catch your breath.

Again I love the feeling of warmth and calm this poem conveys. I like the idea of Shabbat arriving in the evening with the peace this time of day can bring.
