Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Ramadan, which begins on April 13.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A poem for Ramadan about the role of the holiday in reminding us of the the evanescence of our earthly existence:
Ramadan reminds us that the world
Around us is a temporary place
Made for an equivocal embrace
As we ride this rock through vastness hurled.
Dance upon the Earth with joy and laughter
As long as you remember what comes after.
Nor will you find your home in time and space.
