Jerusalem

Tresses dancing in the golden light,
Your laughter, His treasure and delight.
Draw close to Him, flee the menacing night,
Alas, your desire, lies in wayward flight.
~ D.F.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!”
~ Luke 13:34
