| [slm] [center] [color=navy] [font=garamond] [size=4] Vicissitudes of the heart If the ethereal moon waxes and wanes, oceanic tides ebb and flow, autumn leaves fall and grow... then what of this poor heart? If mountainous heights erupt in ashes, the stable earth quakes and shivers, sun-kissed skies turn to gloom... how can this faltering soul remain in bloom? when the meadows lose their luscious sheen, and firey hues replace brilliant greens... when everything we touch is not all it seems and nothing remains of its former gleam how can i still this tumult within? as the desert blazes in noon's heat dunes shifting and sliding to the winds beat i yearn for remembrances of eternal peace but if the selfsame sky can be both bright and bleak and starry nights yield lightning streaks if empty shells of distant memories still weep can this fickle vessel be blamed for a single tranquil moment it can't seem to keep? against this pulsating universe i can't compete i simply can't compete... -Maliha [/center] [/color][/font] [/size] |

| [slm] My Dearest Beautiful Rainbow Somehow this magnificent poem of yours reminded me so much of the last conversation we had. Was that the impetus ? Sigh....indeed if our iman is less of the elusive tides, ebbing and surging, uncaring of the fate of the fishermen, and more of the steady chants of the repenting dervish....alas. If I have not said this before then allow me to thank you so very much for that hour you set aside for this poor besieged soul that is so very physically distant from you yet spiritually near. May Allah SWT Reward you with that peace we all crave, Amin. PS Sis Reflection, I have been trying so hard to get in touch with you. Though it may seem as if there is silence on my part but please know that I send my du'ah for your happiness always. Love you both fissabilillah. Wassalam |
