Poem for Fasting
- Abstaining from nourishment, body and mind,
Seeking solace, the deeper truths to find,
For in the hunger, we discover our might,
A testament to the soul’s inner light.
A way of communicating to Eledumare
Accept our fasting Eledumare
- Through long hours of longing, we cultivate,
Resilience and strength, as we patiently wait,
Nourishing not only the body’s demand,
But feeding the spirit, taking command.
A way of communicating to Eledumare
Accept our fasting Eledumare
- In hunger’s embrace, we find clarity,
Unveiling the layers of our reality,
Detaching from desires that bind us so tight,
Connecting with purpose, igniting our might.

Accept our fasting Eledumare
- Fasting, a symphony of self-restraint,
A melody of discipline, beautifully quaint,
With each passing moment, we gracefully learn,
To appreciate blessings, to humbly discern.
A way of communicating to Eledumare
Accept our fasting Eledumare
- Oh, fasting, thou art a teacher profound,
A sacred practice, wherein treasures are found,
In hunger’s surrender, we find inner peace,
A journey of transcendence, where worries cease.
A way of communicating to Eledumare
Accept our fasting Eledumare
- So let us fast, with hearts full of peace
Embracing the challenge, with a steadfast pace,
For in the stillness, in the hunger’s embrace,
We discover our essence, our truest embrace.
A way of communicating to Eledumare
Accept our fasting Eledumare
Mimo mimo ni ti Oluwa Olorun Eledumare
Iba fun Eledumare
Iba Asee.
