Month of Mercy
By Saba N. Taylor
The sunsets
The new moon rises
All eyes gaze to the mountian's horizon
The month is new
The air is swift
As believers welcome the blessed guest
With vows of patience
And lips pressed sealed
Hearts are washed as heads are kneeled
Fasting by day and praying by night
Seeking guidance and closeness
to Allah the Most High
Moon waxing, moon waning
To the beginning and the end
The Month of Mercy will pass and come again
Ramadan Mubarik!
