Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is faith, in honor of Ramadan, which begins on
June 7.
Today’s poem is a Ramadan poem about how good works sustain
faith.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Righteousness remains the rock of faith,
As what one does sustains what one believes.
Mere hypocrites might pray, the Prophet saith;
Actions must be words the heart conceives.
Do, then, what acts and rituals are due,
As faith becomes a flame that feeds on you,
No less than as a fire consumes dry leaves.
