I am but a speck of dust
Lost in this vast cosmos
Inside my mind
Hides the entire universe
.
At the heart of soul of this speck of dust
Lives the Most magnificent, Most Sublime
The Creator of all
* * *
WOW
I gasp in awesome wonder

When the sun shines every morning
It does not think what if someone objects to its heat
It would Just give its best, anyway
When twilight falls in the evening
It does not care who would curse its darkness
It would just embrace all, anyway
When Sky gates flung open to relinquish earth
It does not hesitate in case some passers by would get wet
It would just rain anyway
When you align yourself with the Most Sublime
You would not consider how people see you;
Would they mock you
Would they belittle you
Would they hurt you
Or would they even kill you
You’re constantly content
Perpetually in magnificent harmony
Like stillness in the eye of the storm
You would just BE, anyway

This poem is dedicated to my friend Genie (Palestine Rose)
When you write raw
You leave your heart exposed
Unmasked
Unprotected
It will carry many cuts and bruises
It might even bleed its life out
I too, write raw
Not to appease
Neither to please
And certainly not to hurt or cause harm
Not to praise or to be praised
Not to condemn or put anyone down
But to heal and ease the pain
Of an injured world
With which I fell madly in love
Long before the day I was born
I hear rivers and oceans weeping I go to pieces
I see the tears running down sky’s face,
I melt away, I go insane
I would peel off the kernel of my soul
I would crush my being to nothingness
I would dwindle and wither away
I would set my heart ablaze
To see a child smile
Take my heart
Take my heart
grind it down
Sprinkle the dust over this tormented world
Turn it to compost
Let it feed love-hungry souls
In the palm of my hand I hold my heart, tender and sore
With delight I give it away
Watch the blossoms budding around
As one child smiles again
Wouldn’t you?

Holding on my hand
Strolling away
How could I resist
A tender baby’s hand
Embraced in mine
***
How could I let go
Of baby’s little fingers
Wrapped around mine
How could I remember
Fears, worries, illusions
When angels hover,
Forever, by my side
My heart is giggling
Her hand in mine
My mind is fizzing
Her world is mine
I came from there
Have always been
There I belong
Her world is mine
Where fairies dance in lavender valleys
Where grass grows tall, untamed and wild
.
Where butterflies have names
Grasshoppers play games
Back-floating they dream
.
Where babies dive
Splashing in rivers
Of daisies and jasmine
.
Where angels swim in milky-ways
Leaving trails of stardust behind
I came from there
Have always been
There I belong
Her world is mine
Floating with children
Smiling at rabbits
Chatting to fairies
My heart is giggling
Her hand in mine
Look, look up there
Flapping my wings
Jumping high then falling down
Her hand in mine
Her eyes of stars
Glowing with glee
Such innocent face
Such radiant light
And heavenly grace
O sweet my baby
Tender and pure
O smile my baby
Come heal and cure
Your hand in mine
Your world is mine
I look at her
In awesome wonder
Then sings my soul
Her hand in mine
Tiny and tender
Her hand in mine
I look at her
In awesome wonder
Then sings my soul
Her world is mine
Serene sublime
Her world is mine
Her world is mine

فكما تتشقق الأرض لتنبت زهرة
وكما يتفتت الصخر فتكبر بذرة
كذا العمر يفنى
فعقل يُدّك
وقلب يُشّق
وروح تُفتق
و تسقط عَبرة وتُخنق عَبرة
لتُبعث نفس
وتزهر مهجة
وتولد فكرة
.
Birth
As soil pushed apart for a flower to grow
As a rock split asunder for a seed to bloom
Thus life gets eroded
Mind grinned
Heart crushed
Soul squeezed
A fallen tear… a smothered tear
Resurrection
Blossom
A thought is born

From the womb of agony
Dreams are born
Sweet and pure
We nourish and groom
And watch them grow
After living in us
Long enough
They come alive
Before we know it
We start living in them
Living…them

How could one be spiritual
Without being saturated in love?
It’s impossible
How would one experience love
Without being spiritual to the core?
It’s not possible
.
.
When you love
You are bursting with curiosity
Teeming with awe and wonder
You see splendour all around
In the most unlikely places
And the most unnoticeable things
.
.
This beautiful feeling
Immeasurable
Irrational
Majestic
Real
Mysterious
Overwhelming
Defying all laws
Challenging all notions
Transcending all boundaries
Refusing to be defined
Making life worth living
Gives you a glimpse into the infinite
The unknown
.
.
The more deeply you look at the visible
The closer you become to seeing the invisible
.
.
As you board the boat of love
You embrace your spiritual-self
Embarking on a magical journey
Floating… following your destiny
Spirituality and love are inseparable… intertwined
.

What kind of music is this I am hearing?
Who is whispering in my ear?
Scented words that has no meaning
To no one else but this poor little girl
Drizzling love…serene delightful
Fizzing my mind with fragrant sparkles
Showering me with sweet aroma
Bathing me in heavenly foam
Suds of joy danced around
Bubbles of ecstasy embraced my soul

In faces of children, pure, innocent and adorable, I see the beauty of God
In my inexplicable ability to feel joy and sorrow, I see the heart of God
In my humble capacity and willingness to forgive I see the compassion of God
In my unfathomable awareness and comprehension, I see the Mind of God
In the ocean of love gushing through my being, embracing all, I see the face of God

You are God’s masterpiece
Yes… you
Those magical eyes
When you’re happy smiling
And even when you cry
This mind of yours
A universe within
Fascinating, magnificent
By its very existence
But more so, its awareness
That it exists
That big warm heart
So loving, full of passion
Without even knowing how or why
Can you keep a secret?
If you promise,
I’ll share it with you…
Did you say yes?
Ok then… listen carefully
Your desire for love is an in-built yearning
To be with the One
Most Loving, God
Your hunger for justice is the innate longing
For the Supreme Just, God
Your search for peace is truly hunting
The Only Source of Peace, God
Your secret wish for eternity is merely a deep aspiration
For the Eternal God
Your profound fascination of beauty is purely awe and wonder
Of the One Most Beautiful, God
Your appreciation of all creative arts is simply admiration
Of the One Most Creative, God
Beware, don’t be distracted by signs on the way
They’re only means to get you by
Don’t mistake them for your aim
Otherwise; your harvest will merely be
Big disappointments and flat empty dreams
A heart full of sorrow confused and jeopardized
Carry on along the path
Your home and final destination
Is the One and Only, God
For… you are God’s very own
Masterpiece
