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. |

[slm] 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.... :-) Maliha [wlm] |
