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 faith and reason.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Reason is no cause for revelation.
A moment comes and goes; a word endures.
More than sense must underlie sensation.
A holy mind and heart such faith secures.
Depend, then, on your fasting to awaken
A love of Allah easily forsaken.
Nor is there mooring where one’s reason moors.
