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 the relationship
between discipline and rapture.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Rapture comes most easily within
A discipline that divvies up the day,
Making time for timelessness, and space,
A rolled-up rectangle holy anyplace,
Dear temple of delight where one might pray,
Assigned some sweet-tongued verses to begin
Now hallowing this hollow cask of clay.
