Fumbling in the dark
a thirsty beggar,
seeking light
I amble on,
tiny eyes mesmerized
by the twinkling
lights in the distance
promising more than momentary
sparkle to existence.
Every day a cyclists mundane path,
dotted along by sweet smelling flowers
and the trendy pebbles, smiling gems of wonder.
Once in a while
I might even stop to play
with these to find to my delight,
a rare inspiration
from the divine garden..
Once in a while..
When Life and Time affords.
But oh the day of Glory
when I am able to
bask in the sunshine
of a blessed moment..
when touched
soul to soul
by the spirit of divine love
and then to feel
Guided by the Hand that Leads!
Oh what Glory!
What deep fulfilling measure of
Beauty as I have never known.
I do now.
I do!
He Loves me.
I see it. I feel it.
Sunshine is the sparkle in his eyes
and MoonLight - the radiance of his skin.
Allah Loves me.
Undoubtedly.
His Gifts to me are
boundless. Endless.
Like the yearning Ocean,
the eternal Skye,
the thirsty Desert..
Like Love.
And Breathing.
And the knowledge that
Love
is
Breathing.
Indeed,
I am spoilt
by these wonders
and these delights.
Destiny unravelled,
reveals a scroll
of pleasures
awaiting my perusal.
I am spellbound!

"And the knowledge that Love is Breathing"
People do not die without love, its far more insiduous, a lot more painful and a complete torture.
It is possible to breathe, but its just not the way to live. Or die.
We all need to be divinly guided.
Some of us just dont know it.

For some reason people love to answer rhetorical questions and analyse a mere quote, poem or post. Hehehe
What a beautiful perspective you have found!
And what beautifull words you have for such a beautifull feeling :)
Very nice :)
Breathing is Living is Loving :)
V: Ppl do not die without love, whats worse is that they are the walking dead!
JT: May we all be Divinely Guided and Inspired as we Walk through Life.
TaQdeer: I guess ppl need so desparately to make sense of everything they encounter, even words (or especially words) so they break it down into little bits that make it easier for them to understand from their perspective of life :)
It doesnt always have to correlate with what the artist intends, as you know.. reader/audience interpretations vary :)
Thanks for the compliment!
You sound content :-)
And theres a feel of appreciation that I really enjoyed reading in this piece.
Keep Well

Mush and Sop. But in a good way that made me read all the way to the very end. Awesome the way you can put your words together and say all the stuff you want to say in one breathe! Hehe. Kidding.
A wise lady once told me, keep breathing- everything else is a bonus ;)
Keep up the inspirations dudette!
Indeed I am spellbound by your artistry...
Journey is but an interval; journey is but
an obstacle.
It is here where existence is.
It is here where extinction is.
Hi
N: The source of rejuvenation is in remembering to appreciate the Source of Inspiration.
@Diatribal Dude: Hmm, I did say that didnt I :)) Keep Breathing!
lol..
@Farsh: The contradictions about the journey of life make it complete..It is in finding a space between the contradictions in which to make a life that we are fulfilled :)
Assalamu'alaykum Kimya!
That, I believe, was your best poem thus far. It is refreshing to read a poem about appreciation and love for the blessings Allah has provided us with. Too many poems express sad, disdainful thoughts that deny the hope Allah has prescribed for us. True faith is between fear and hope, and you have very well elucidated the hope part of it. :)
I am too, by your words :-)
You've reminded us, that we are all indeed loved, yet we choose to forget. Lyrically written. Well done.
@Faraz: Alhamdulillah! And thank you.. Inspiration is a wheel, no doubt, moved by the Divine :)
@Saaleha: Love is all around, we just have to see it, feel it, be it :) Take Care.
Slmz
Very well written :)
I like the depth it has and the journey it takes the reader on.
