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 and Eid al-Fitr about the peace that comes from erasing oneself through prayer:
Erase my soul and let
me be
Invisible as air.
Detain me in Your emptiness
And let me be just prayer.
Let my passion disappear;
Focus well my mind.
Immerse me in infinity
Till at peace I turn to see
Ramadan behind.
