| 9.6.00 3.03am If I could paint a portrait of this life in which I've led and somehow sketch a story of the visions in my head I'd start out with a canvas stretched tightly in a frame and in the bottom corner I'd leave room to sign my name I'd buy myself some pretty paints made of the finest dyes carefully choose my brushes and other art supplies I wouldn't need a model to pose and play a part I'd paint for you a picture of what lies within my heart I'd stain the backdrop all in black to hide a distant past cover up the broken dreams that were not meant to last and then I'd add some shades of white then splash it all in gold I'd marvel at this painting this masterpiece foretold but in this soulful picture you would see some shades of gray some imperfect hint of shadow which would never go away they lie within the darkness of the corners in my mind stashed away in dark recesses that times of sin have left behind if I could paint a portrait of this life in which I've led and somehow sketch a story of the visions in my head Islam would be a rushing river where I wash away my fears an ever constant flowing which cleanse me from my tears I'd outline a horizon where the mountains touch the sky beyond the range of yesterdays where the past's been left to die I'd paint the past with sad regret those times of wild youth drowned in sin and lost in black now emerging to the truth I'd paint for you the setting sun of wasted years left behind now fading from my senseless life to clear a shrouded mind those times of constant searching for a single ray of light that I could hold before me to guide me through the night and then I'd place the flowers scattered in a deep green field each a different color their meaning not concealed each bloom would stand for triumphs all the struggles in my thought sprung up from all the fissures from the battles which I fought there's a highlight in this portrait the inspiring shades of white the texture and perspective that reflect the rays of light Islam is what brings color in this picture I display if it were not present here it would all just fade to gray yeah if I could paint a portrait of this life in which I've led and somehow sketch a story of the visions in my head beneath the color and the hue the times of hope and times of strife beneath it all, if you look close Islam is what brings beauty to my life. |

| assalaamu alaikum Subhanallah! Se7en i just remembered! There was ONE occasion when a sister i used to know read me some poetry (in English). And that was the best poetry i ever heard. Every word was in its proper place and the poems were increasd in beauty because they were reflections on Allah's Creation. I dunno if i have her e-mail address anymore, but if i can find it, i'll try to get some from her, insha'allah. |

| >Maybe we should all savor these moments while we can. Too right Arsalan!!! But I'm sure se7en's not like that...or is she? Oops, I'd better not say anything else right now or else she might decline my request of getting my hands on the first copy of her bestseller ;-) |

| Asalaamu Aleikoum, Masha' Allah, sister se7en you have a gift with words that belies your age. My jaw dropped when I first read this poes: exquisite sentiments. But I tell you, it hit the floor when I pieced together from your other posts just how old (young) you are. Sorry if that sounds like patronising old man talking but I am pleasantly surprised. May Allah give you the means to fulfil your potential and the wisdom to do so well. |
