Turning Slowly.

Eid is
bittersweet. The holy month
Is over and the mundane months begun,
Devoted to the world of work and
pleasure.
A sense of satisfaction comes at
length,
Like winds that through the open windows
run,
Freshening the soul, at last at
leisure.
In celebration, then, and with new
strength,
Turning to the many from the One,
Re-embrace the lives and loves you
treasure.
