revision 1

Revised version:
Grab for God!
Reach out and try to grasp Him in your filthy fingers!
Look how He takes His distance from you
with eagle eyed agility!

He who made the birds hop and fly
Can draw you near or push you away
With the warmest hug
Or the coldest fear.
Don’t you know, you do it to yourself
And make Him take the blame
Or you blame shaytan
Even worse!


Who has more ease than a rabbit
Feeding on spilled seeds left by a gluttonous squirrel?
His table is all set!

All creatures eagerly cherish his traces,
Whether they are hunters, prey or both.
We humans like to bury our noses in the fragrance of dewy wildflowers
Perhaps a young fawn can just walk into their midst and laugh with those delicate ladies
So lucky he is!

All creation is showered with
Presents from Him,
They themselves being both rain
And tears
Forms of rahma enjoyed in all the spheres
Or at least the ones I’ve been in

Your experiences may be different
For each sirat is custom made
A work in progress
As we travel this journey

the indefinable All,
Universally Merciful
and
Singularly compassionate.

Everything,
Unity,
HU.

New poetry. Writing is one of the few activities that can keep me sane on a day when there's a lot to figure out


Grab for God
Reach out and try to grasp Him in your filthy fingers!
Look how He takes His distance from you
With such agility!
He who made the bird hop and fly
can draw you near or push you away
As easily as a rabbit feeds
on spilled seeds left by a gluttonous squirrel
His table is all set!
All creatures trail traces, like the smell of delicate flowers wet with dew
Or sharper scents.
Presents from Him,undefinable All,
Everything, Unity, HU
