Awaiting the High Holidays

I sit here in my home on the Lower East Side
Awaiting the High Holidays
The years have come and gone 
and they have not always been easy for me
Believe  me - I am not the best Jew in the world
But I do attend on the most sacred of days
I write poetry on various topics - including Middle Earth
Bur scoffers non withstanding 
I will pray to the creator and I will continue to love 
our lovely blue orb
