Not Made to Order


Share

 

Poetry is not a structure

Not a mind proposal or brain design

Has no angles no corners no lines

No building blocks or cement to hold

Cannot be forged or made to order

Neither produced on a magic board

Nor constructed by thinking more

Organically flows from a different realm

Chasing footsteps of fairies unseen

With butterflies it floats serene

Grips, throbs, sways and blows

Leaving a tail of stardust behind

Sometimes like a river

Quietly runs within your veins

As it matures a barrage burst out

Madly gushes through your soul

Lightening, thunder and a waterfall

Sometimes like a tree

A seed so small no one can see

Slowly digs roots deep down below

Calmly rises above the ground

As time goes by soaring it stands

Sometimes like a flower

Wild ethereal subtle refined

Not of this world but Heavens above

An angel’s whisper graceful sublime

Tickles your heart with balsam divine

Of Life and Death


Share

 

Materialists say:

Death is the End

Of all there is

Consciousness annihilated

Dreams, tears, struggles,

Kindness, morality, aspirations

Deleted… permanently

As if never existed

Thoughts, emotions, ideas, artistry

Love, laughter, memories, joys

Wiped out

Entirely… Eternally

Without a trace

Only matter exists

When a body dies it disintegrates

A lump of flesh

A pile of decaying compounds

The saint and the foe in the same hole

No feelings, no conscience, no loss no gain

No awareness, no future, no joy, no pain

People of faith say:

Death is nothing but a new beginning

A birth into a world supreme

Expansion of consciousness

Beyond time and space

Explosion of feelings, creativity and perception

Far beyond material experience or worldly restriction

A transformation from density of matter

To sublimity of the soul

An awakening to the majestic Truth

From the confinement of illusion

As if a mystic dance of subatomic particles

Constantly traveling, forever arriving

Perpetually swaying

Entangled in a mysterious web of duality

Yearning to the oneness of the Divine

A breathtaking journey, matter to wave, darkness to light

Life and death are intertwined

super imposed

A galactic twirl spiraling up in a glorious cosmic tale

Now, you !

 What do you say?

Silence, Your Guru within


Share

 

Silence with friends is the gift you give

Allows them to breath in your thoughts

Exhale their logic and love unbound

 

 

Silence for the mind is the space between the letters

and the gap between the lines

Can you ever understand a word without it?

 

 

Silence for the soul is its song serene sublime

Noise blooms a melody, howls become a tune divine

Can you ever enjoy a moment without?

 

 

Hum for Healing

Did you touch the sky, one day
 
With finger-tips of love and joy ?
 
 
Did you feel the wind, one day
 
Dancing with your heart … hoy… hoy
 
Did you hear your doll, one day
 
Praying along with every toy ?
 
 
Did you smell the grass, one day
 
Breathing hope in and out comes pain ?
 
 
Did you slide the rainbow, one day
 
Riding wings of angels… painting drops of rain ?
 
 
Did you ask your self, one day
 
Am I really mad
 
Or simply…just sane !

Love Unbound


Share

 

So, the other day my four years old grandson has a class in which parents / grandparents were invited to attend.

The theme of the lesson was about love, so the teacher read a story about love then asked the children to come one by one stand up and tell the class whom they love most and whom they would like to pray and say thank you for.

Some of the kids said mum some said dad, others said mum and dad when it was my grandson’s turn he stood up and said my whole family ♥️

Later that afternoon he told me “in fact I love every one on this planet earth” 

Just like my grandson, I do love everyone on this planet but I exclude the evil ones whom he is still unaware of

 

Morning Prayer


Share

Dear Most Beloved Most Kind

Fill my heart with love

So it may embrace Your entire creation

Fill my world with flowers

So it may bloom in Your adoration

Fill my life with colour

So it may sing Your Sublime Beauty

Fill my eyes with tenderness

So it may be dazzled by Your Brilliance

Fill my day with laughter

So it may resonate in the vastness of Your cosmos

Fill my arms with loved ones

So it may rejoice in Your Compassion

Fill my home with friends

So it may celebrate Your boundless bequest

Fill my hands with kindness

So it may bounce off your Generosity

 

 

Fill my mind with wisdom

So it may spin in Your Magnificence

Fill my being with gratitude

So it may dwell in Your peace, serene

Fill my soul with poetry

So it may dance to Your Splendour

Ameen

 

My Soul Bows Down


Share

 

Like droplets of dew flowing on a jasmine tree

 

Like humming of canaries as dawn breaks free

IMG_1672 copy

Like flowers in a garden swaying at twilight

Like whispers of lovers meandering under moonlight

 

 

Like fragrance of an angel floating by

Like a baby’s eyes as he sings his lullaby

 

So prays my soul

 روحي جنة روحي جنة
بها أشجارٌ
بها انهارٌ
بها ازهارُ
فلك الشكر ولَك الحمد
يا ذَا المنة

روحي جنة روحي جنة

بها أقمارٌ
بها اطيارٌ
بها اسرارُ
ما أكرمك يا ذَا المنة

 

My soul is a heaven
With trees, rivers and flowers
Praise and gratitude
To You Most Kind
 
My soul is a heaven
With moons, birds and secrets
How generous of You, Most Kind

I Came From There


Share

I came from there
There I belong
Where babies can fly
And prayers have wings
Where poppies dance
And angels do sing

I came from there
Where rainbow souls
With stardust tails
Float in the sky
Despite the curfews
Dazzling, their joy

I came from there
Where skies rain bombs
As air stops breathing
Families hold hands
Bathing in love
Tranquil serene

I came from there
Where furious evil
Rages with hate
Humanity’s saviours
Shining in beauty
Steadfast remain

I came from there
While others watch
Stunned and bemused
My people ascend
Peeking through veils
Where time no more

I came from there
Where truths are born

Infinity meets naught
Miracles are norm
Where loss is gain
And less is more

I came from there
Where prophets still praying
Where children play
On sacred mountains
Splashing their feet
In holy springs

I came from there
Where eyes can hear you
Where tears have smiles
And grins do weep
Where stones have feelings
And martyrs live, forevermore

I came from there
There I belong
Where life is death
And death means life
Where God dwells
Thus sings my soul
