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 need for revelation:
Reason
is no cause for revelation.
A moment comes and goes; a word endures.
More than sense must underlie sensation.
A holy mind and heart such faith secures.
Depend, then, on your fasting to awaken
A love of Allah easily forsaken.
Nor is there mooring where one's reason moors.
