The Wonderful Feeling of Ramadhan

Each year, there it comes with its special effect.
Ramadhan is the break from spiritual neglect,
A reminder of the suffering …people less fortunate.
The ones who can’t afford a daily meal in their plate.

Ramadhan focuses on spirituality,
It tones down our animal instinct and its voracity.
Reviving our goodness… appealing to our heart
Guiding our attention … polishing our chart.

No means of nutriments from sun up to sun down,
It opens the doors … our hunger it disowns.
For more reflection… connection … absorption,
Of The Divine Order…well worth admiration.

Ramadhan is lightning … like a wake up call.
For self-discipline… journey of self-control.
Covering all areas… leaving “I WANT!” far behind,
Listening to our heart rather than our minds.

Oh! How I anticipate the goodness of Ramadhan!
