Hour before the Dawn

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

* * *

Earth is throbbing in curious anticipation

The avalanche is fast approaching

People dazed in deep sleep

Some eyes are peeled as if they know

* * *

* * *

Time to retreat, weary soul

Time to retreat

Rest in a niche where Light descends

Hand it all over to the One Supreme

Carve a hole in your heart, braid your loved ones in

One by one

* * *

* * *

O soul

Put your temporary house in order

Clean up the mess before the storm

Pluck up the weeds and plow the soil

Scatter the seeds for those to come

Give it back better than you received

Stunning… Atrociously beautiful

Humbly put your head down and pray

A modest sign of ample gratitude

* * *

Raise your gaze up to the sky

Note the signs to your dwelling place

Adorn the garden of your home eternal

Let love flow free, let kindness prevail

Follow your soul, she knows the way

Let her guide you to your heavenly abode

Beneath the Throne of a Gracious Lord

Gaze in amazement at the glorious sight

Wither to nothingness before the Majesty

Splendour no eye had ever seen

* * *

  Dearest Nahida, I was forced to remove all comments by the fake wannabe Muppet Guru, Rajinder Singh Duggal, he had his lawyer serve me legal documents that threatened to sue people who had left comments, he wanted the IP and email address data about the commentators, so that he could pursue legal action in the future.
  I did not comply with Rajinder’s intimidation and terrorizing tactics, and deleted all comments, if I end up in jail for protecting peope from a demon bully, then so be it, I am not afraid, the Truth is my Compass.
  
  Salam Alai’kum,
  Genie
