Memories

Memories

For in my mind I see
A place beyond reality
The places that bring me great joy and happiness
The light of the sun
Always bringing a smile to my face
The warmth of friends
The comfort of love
Why is it that that certain place holds so many dear moments for me?

I look back at them with joy and thank the Lord for those memories.
But it’s because of those times that I am able to appreciate the present.
This current moment – filled with blessing and opportunity.
Filled with the same light and abundance as those joyous memories from the past

Inner peace it seems
Is not so far away after all.

Only You

Only You

I lost my self once

For this notion of love

I fell to its beauty

From the white clouds above

I gave into pleasure

I gave into pain

I lost myself once

But I got back up again

I found myself again 

I found freedom and light

I found peace and equality

And all things were right

I found You

But left myself behind

And thus I melt into you 

Like the clouds in the sky

When the rays of the sun shine upon them

Giving that heavenly glow

There is no longer I or me

Only You, my beloved Lord.

The Temple

The Temple

There are numbers I see that make me

Free beyond this physical being

For we are one

There is no me

The body is form

But the essence breathes

I return slowly

The source is beckoning

To You I belong

And where I am there You are
This journey is a quiet one

Diving deeper into the ether

The soul will live for eternity

The temple will soon crumble and decay

But the light that shines within its walls

Will glow bright now and forever more.

InshAllah.
