Each fast
is like a cleansing of the soul
In which one's thoughts are purified
by prayer,
Deepened by connection to the whole
As one becomes somehow more simply
there.
Leaving the sweet holiday behind,
Families feast to bid it fond
farewell.
If Ramadan rewards the heart and
mind,
The feast rewards the long-neglected
shell
Returning to the palace of the
wind.
