Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is service, in honor of Eid al-Adha, the Islamic
Festival of Sacrifice, which this year is celebrated on July 31.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A poem for Eid al-Adha about the love that fills those who
serve Allah:
Each of us must sacrifice our selves
If we would hope to know eternal love.
Deep within the spirit that rebels
Abides a moment time cannot remove.
Leave your self behind in prayer and be
A willing servant in your master's hands,
Devoted to good deeds and faithfully
Holding to the life Allah commands,
And love will fill your silence like a sea.
