COME HOME Rabbi-Cantor Michael McCloskey
Come home , you who have gorged yourself on the banquet of modernity 49 and awoken to a reeling cup 50 .
Come home , spiritual warriors , crones , black and brown , curls and frizz , The Queen has put on your raiment 51
Come home from ivory towers from tents from pasturing the flock 52 from the pit The Queen is coming with you .
Come home little sparks hidden candles of a light unseen and nevertheless lighting My way 53 .
