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 about the role of Ramadan in reminding us of
the primacy of eternal life.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Ramadan reminds us that the world
Around us is a temporary place
Made for an equivocal embrace
As we ride this rock through vastness hurled.
Dance upon the Earth with joy and laughter
As long as you remember what comes after.
Nor will you find your home in time and space.
