Gift of Life


A tiny spark shimmers with joy

Be … and it was

Breathed in, by the Most Gracious, Most Kind

Curious, teeming with love sublime

Clothed in flesh, and a wondrous mind

Gifted with a heart tender profound

Share this love my child, with all

Withhold it not from any creatur of mine

Stand for justice, witness for truth

Fill my world with kindness and smiles

Whispered the One, glorious His name

Then it was decreed in realms unknown

Pain is the ultimate companion of joy

Hardship will be your key to Eden

Patience is your way up to Heaven

Your final abode is the Haven of Mine

Despair not, you won’t be alone

Your soulmate is forever, by your side

Adore one another and pray for all

Hold on together, until you return

Nodded the child with the heart of gold

Yes my Beloved, Your will is mine

A rainbow filled the sky above

Announcing the birth of soul, divine

Makeup Prayer


❤ ❤ ❤ For all my daughters and sisters in humanity ❤ ❤ ❤

May your lipstick be honesty

May your manicure be kindness

May your powder be tenderness

May your bracelet be courage

May your ring be patience

May your perfume be love

May your hair do be humbleness

May your eye shadow be modesty

May your glamour be your graciousness

May your charm be your thoughtfulness

May jasmine be your wreath

May purity be your wedding dress

May wild flowers be your precious jewels

May your heart pound with humanity

May your soul radiate with heavenly beauty

I love my father and his philosophy, he celebrates every day of the year. His greeting to every one he meets has always been “Happy Eid, New Year/Day, cousin”                              كل عام وانتم بخير ابن عمي

Good Morning World

A morning of optimism and hope

A morning of endurance, and willingness to cope

A morning of blessing, never ending grace

A morning of love, a divine embrace

A new day, a new year

To the oppressed,

A promise of victory, ever so near

❤ ❤ ❤

صباح التفاؤل والأمل

صباح الجد والعمل

صباح الخير والبركات

صباح الحب والبسمات

يوم جديد وعام جديد

ووعد بنصر للصابرين، غير بعيد

A Prayer for my Beloved


A prayer for all beloved people in my life

May your sleep be as serene

May your heart be as pure

May your grin be as warm

May your soul be as tender

May your days be as calm

May your nights be as blissful

May your life be as tranquil

As a sweet smile

on a sleeping baby face

We chased a rainbow one day
 
Pots of gold we found abound
 
Dormant, deep in our hearts
 
Bonded souls in separate realms
 
Intertwined, with mystic ties
 
Chant together Psalms of hope
 
Until we meet, loyal we stay

Biography of an Odd-Soul


12130_626417367431715_659060371_n
* * *

A silent child I was

Hardly ever spoken

This girl is abnormally quiet, they whispered

She must be deaf or dumb

* * *

20434_1128251065941_376628_n
* * *

In a world of my own

Mind running amok

Curious feral child

Up a fig tree, pomegranate or mulberry

Dreaming endlessly

Tantalized by a world of wonder

Bursting with questions

Dying for answers

How did it all begin?

Where is it heading?

And why?
* * *
birds-flying-uep-laoang-northern-samar
* * *

How many stars are there?

How come they don’t fall?

Why are shimmering?

Where do they go daytime?

What are sun and moon, doing up there?

What would we find at the edge of universe?

* * *
10917398_10152455201730666_6608663643271239202_n
* * *

Who I really am?

How come I can think?

Who is that talking inside my head,

When my lips are utterly sealed?

What am I doing here?

Where did I come from?

And most intriguing, why?

* * *

Looking at ants, wow, I am gigantic!

From afar, the minaret is smaller than my little finger

Up a mountain, flabbergasted, O my O my

I am so tiny, the sky is so high
* * *

* * *

Untamed child, with a stolen heart

Captured by a net, weaved of stars

A sky-gazer, fascinated by all

Every flying leaf, every passing breeze
Every living being, big or small

My dad called me Elm, (knowledge in Arabic)

What do you want to be when you grow up

He asked one day

“A Philo-phoser”, certain, I replied

 * * *

At school, I would turn red-jam-jelly

When spoken to, or asked a question

Hence the nickname, Nena Red cheeks
* * *

My friends would hang around a bit, then would move on

They want to chat, play and run

I want to sit still, let my mind meander, up above the clouds

Why sky is blue? what are these fluffs scattered below?

If I stretch my hands that far, would I find out what they really are?

A silent child I was, an odd-soul

To play with, apparently was not much fun
* * *

Teenage years didn’t change much

My friends would be chattering and giggling away

When I draw near their chats would turn to whispers

To this very day, I have no idea what was going on

I knew they mentioned boys, but for heavens sake

Why was it so funny? what were the giggles all about?

A silent child I was, an odd-soul

To include in conversations, apparently wasn’t cool
* * *
10626596_10204784245105406_8831684616017098389_n

* * *

Bothered, I was most certainly not

In fact I was relieved

Too fascinated in my world of wonder

Vast and ever expanding

With this awesomeness, who would want some silly jokes anyway

A silent child I was, an odd-soul

A dreamer living a dream

Eden hues, supreme

Bliss


img_7870

* * *

Today, playing with my two years old grandson

as every day,

He found a hairbrush

Climbed behind me

Gently passing it through my hair

* * *

img_7766

* * *

Suddenly stopped

Wrapped his little arms around my neck

and whispered: “ana bahibik

I love you

Treasures of Heaven fell into my lap

* * *

img_7869

* * *

In his arms he held my soul

With that hug, I need nothing more

In my heart I had it all

May We Learn


May we look, so we may see

May we listen, so we may hear

May we touch, so we may feel

May we think, so we may learn

May we see, hear, feel and learn,

So we may love, adore, share and care  ♥
