Eid
Early dawn flush with excitement Rushed showers Children’s eyes now lit with wonder Voices hushed in awe at splendor To the background of takbeer The eager struggle with new clothes, Brand new shoes, Buttons, buckles and berets Snapping price tags, peeling stickers To the background of takbeer
Impossible Recompense
Gentle, enveloping me in warmth. Wholesome, nourishing my thoughts. Airy, filling my eyes with light. Scented, wafting through my head. Lifting Intoxicating Filling Overwhelming Your care vibrates in my life leaves me gift-struck, stunned and staggered capable of everything – feeling anything’s within my power except for the skill of thanking You enough…
Taking Stock
Everyday I must take stock Of all the ease embedded in my troubles Of all the tiny gifts that glint and sparkle Like sunlight on the rippling water of my day Of the sudden relief At once incredible and inexplicable
New Day
Daily Gift Gently I pull at the ribbon of each day Gingerly I undo its wrapping Cautiously I explore –still in bed, eyes unopened- The undiscovered reaches of its span My thoughts feel out its full-of-promise corners This present, ethereal, yet absolutely mine Untouched, untainted, awaiting my design
Unseen Blessings
Layer Upon layer Upon layer Upon layer Of Your blessings Like a cloak cover my head and shoulders
