Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is the contrast between the holy and the mundane, in
honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which began on June 26, at the end
of the month of Ramadan.
Today’s poem is a number poem about the beauty of the
infinite and beauty within time.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Fifty is a mark upon the waters.
Infinity’s the sea on which we sail.
Forever is a moment. Nothing alters
The being of the One behind the veil.
Yet there is beauty, too, in shades and borders.
