Remember When You Fast to Take It Slow
A Ramadan Poem About the Need to Experience the Holy Month Slowly
Remember when you fast to take it slow,
As prayer, worship, love, and faith take time.
Mundane thoughts may quickly come and go;
A deeper thought might well one's life define.
Do, then, despite your thirst and hunger, savor
A holy month in which the soul finds favor,
Needing time to ride the undertow.
