Across Barriers:

[i]They came elegant and self possessed
They came tranquil
Refined with natural elegance
Disguised behind veils
Colored with reverence.
They came beautified with the
Sweetest fragrance

They came to share in the midst
Of celebration
Communing the depth of their
Declaration
In every breath they reached out
Touching each other soul’s with
Laughter and delight
Singing praises of His Might
Relishing in the cool breezes of
Respite
They came like shining stars
Illuminating society’s dark
Night

Uprooted from different bases
Mingling rainbows transcending
Races
Hearts singing songs of the One
To whom they all belong
Tongues liquefying empty spaces
They came seeking,
Yearning,
Elevating,
They came sharing infinite melodies
Of Allah’s sublime Graces. [/i]

Maliha Balala.

I was asked to write this for Azizah mag. after one of their receptions...they wanted something to capture the spirit of people coming together, happy note, etc. I started thinking about all the differerent times we as Muslims come together and the beautiful way we celebrate. So I wrote it in the spirit of Hajj, Eid, Weddings, conferences, Receptions, etc etc....the beauty of souls sharing solely in the Name of Allah is what I was trying to capture :)

I hope i was able to capture my reflections...poetry is still a cage within which the soul attempts to flutter its wings of expression....
