Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims which begins
on May 27.
Today’s poem is a Ramadan poem about the inadequacy of
reason without faith.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Reason without faith is pure relation,
A sterile tool with doubt as its reward.
Mere connection cannot guide the mind
Absent a wisdom with deep faith combined,
Defining each sustained note with a chord.
A soul sees little substance in sensation,
Needing more than unframed thought can find.
