In times of great upheaval and when darkness prevails, it is the remembrance of what is important that will keep us going.
Hope thrives by sustaining and fostering our humanity, amidst the gloomy hours of turbulence and anguish.

The other day
The other day
I looked into your eyes
I saw Heaven
My heart smiled
Fluttered its wings
and flew away
Growing... growing
Overflowing
Pouring out love
Embracing All
Engulfed
Overflowing
Pouring out love
Embracing All
Engulfed
Trees swayed in jubilation
Hills and mountains imbibed within
Flowers and meadows twirled with elation
Soil and sand trembled of devotion
Babies, dolphins, birds and butterflies
Babies, dolphins, birds and butterflies
with beautiful grins, bounced around
With a child's heart
Playing hide and seek
Rivers and oceans pounded with joy
Earth, planets, galaxies and stars
Danced while nesting inside
Danced while nesting inside
My heart contained
All there is
Besotted, swept off my feet
I swirled with joy
I swirled with joy
In disbelief, I looked at me . . . shrinking
Rose Petals . . . scattered
A speck of dust . . . faded away
I am gone

I feel it too, Nahida, Love is all we have which is free, unbridled and filled with promise.
ReplyDeleteLove is in the air, earth and water, in our hearts and in our minds.
Love knows no bounds, appreciates all life and nurtures the downtrodden, oppressed and forlorn.
Love heals and overcomes all sorrows, afflictions and grief.
Love is bigger than all of humanity, bigger than the earth and it's creatures, trees and flowers.
Love is why we live, how we live and what we live, Love is all things to all people.
Love is what I feel for such a one as Nahida, for Palestine, for Palestinians and for all people no matter whom they are what they say do or feel, love is unconditionally mine to give wherever whenever and however Allah sees fit. Love is eternal.
