Fasting Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Enjoying fast-
Tied to the traditions
Of Community-India
For all occasions
Sometimes
Some of these
Unheard names
Not making any sense
On the face of it
But, so deep.

Unless an elderly
Member explains
Or pens down
A note about:
‘Fast don't feast'
For nine pious-days
During ‘NAVRATRAS'.

A great way
To de-intoxicate
Physically and spiritually
As well, getting closer
Closer to fitness.
Spreading, a little joy
High spirited blissful-feel
Combating depression.

Forming-
A habitual track
A pious spiritual trick
To boost the morale
Keeping negativity gone.
