Sweet Tears in a Fountain of Red Sherbert

162. Sweet Tears in a Fountain of Red Sherbert

I have been cautioned,

I know,

I have been warned

To be wary,

I know.

But I am deeply besotted

By each petal

That falls into my eye,

Caressing my soul

To release a teardrop

Into

A fountain of red sherbert.

You have caused me

To be unwary,

And I step forward

When you call me,

Not knowing my end,

Only that

One step

Brings me

One step

Closer

To you.

When I walk,

Ants follow me,

For the tears I cry are not

Bitter nor salty,

But sweet.

As I make my way

From the decrepit hutch

Of a sinner build,

To you, my love,

To do of me,

As you will.

Have a beautiful and sweet life, sunshine. And if you do cry, I pray that your tears are sweeter than honey, and more refined than the finest wine of France. I will not lie and tell you that the way is in any way easy. It is not. But, it is the most beautiful road that you can travel on. So long as you are mortal like me. Yes, even for a sinner like me it is beautiful. More than I deserve. Always more.

wa min Allah at-taufiq.
