Rhythm Resonance

An old soul with a modern view
Numerous traumas she went through
She managed to emerge though with new mindsets
On a recovery journey, on herself she bets

She might seem simple on the surface
Yet, she's boiling inside,trapped in a thermos
She claimed her feelings, identified them
Unearthing their roots, where they stem

No red lines, and no secrets
She just likes to share her candid experience
For your empathy, she's surely needless
In emotional detection, a mere ingenious

She resonates and tolerates
In offering help, she never hesitates
Generously giving her care and time
With a strong encouragement to always rhyme
To self-love and dress to the nine
And inner core continuously refine.

Oh Hardships! they never last
I know how now, you're deeply crashed
Rely on your creator, and release your burden
A new person will shine, an amazing version.

Sada-e-Haqq

وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ

And those with understanding derive a lesson,

(Surah Saad, Verse 29)

Shariah is one. You may call ‘truth’ by any name but the source is singular. In the propagation of truthfulness and veracity, there is no uniqueness. Instead, there will be a repetition and with persistence. Something which is new will provide a delightful novelty, but the truth is exceptionally singular and is eternal. From where it will provide newness and novelty in its presentation and declaration? It is bound to be repetitive. Sowing the same seed in different climates, again and again, expecting that the soil might accept it someday and shoot up to be a lush green plant yielding plenty of fruits.

In the Holy Quran, we find a single subject or a topic often repeated. One should ponder upon and try to explore the reason for such reiteration.

It is stated…

انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَ

Behold, how We put forth Our signs in diverse forms,

and yet they turn away from them.

(Surah Al-An’am, Verse 46)

Samha

The rain became more and more abundant as if the sky had become a giant water bladder that was cut in length with a sharp dagger, the wind performing the dance of madness without stopping and its voices are the howling of old women after a great pandemic. Samha is on its way to its inevitable doom as the mountain seemed to me a giant death with its arms outstretched, preparing to embrace them.

A great ark flowing in greater waves, the first time I saw Samha sailing away while I was not on it, I saw her huge size, luxurious in construction, coherent in structure. As if I was watching her for the first time, sailing with determination to a written goal, penetrating waves and riding others, full of people and struggling for life in the midst of a dark sea.

Schizophrenic Galaxy

A journey into one’s mind is an exploration of the universe itself. A schizophrenic galaxy is a reality we live in. My thoughts led me into a walk down the electric roads in my mind, it was the winter that kept our love warm, Elysian fields of our extraterrestrial love. I hold you closer near the Arc de Triomphe where you justify the essence of a French kiss. We swift down Victor Hugo as my collar dances with your hair. We lay dazzled in Sainte-Chapelle screaming for your music, mesmerized by immortal trees, by weak leaves. Just like the soul you rescued, an infinite soul.

A journey into one’s mind is an exploration of our souls intertwine. Light and awareness, the aliveness in every apparent motion in my mind. My thoughts and actions are justified by her, extracted out of me and returned to her. Everything I see, hear, do or know is enabled out of me. It is my mind and my being in use.
