Remember, Too, the Holy Month of Fasting

April 24, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is faith.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem for Ramadan about the transformative power of a moment of faith:

Remember, too, the holy month of fasting.

Absorb the word of God like burning sand.

Make yourself through prayer a single yearning,

A single breath of faith, a single turning,

Dawn to dusk a diamond in God's hand.

A moment of pure faith is everlasting,

Nor need one know aught else to understand.
