Missing you, remembering you - under a sky rent asunder by the light of love



Missing you, Remember you
When I cry,
It is not me alone crying,
But the Earth, the Sky and the Moon,
Missing you.

When I remember you,
It is not me alone remembering,
But the Earth, the Sky and the Moon,
Remembering you.

When I collect beautiful memories,
It is in reality Truth that I collect,
And the most beautiful memory
That I possess is you.

Love, what be the reasons
For our separation?
Save that I might yearn for you.
And from a distance 
That I might remember you.

Knowing that
You would never forsake me.
No matter how far my sins or piety may take me.

It is May Day today, a public holiday celebrating the contribution of workers the world over. I reckon that most workers are taking the opportunity to sleep in this morning. But for me my real passion continues - remembering and writing - Taking ink from the velvet blue sky, rent asunder by the light of love that touches the nib of my pen.


Have a lovely holiday, sunshine. And remember me in your prayers please, for the sake of Him that we adore above all else.  

wa min Allah at-taufiq

Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way

  3. Salam Sister Asifa,

    I don't write as often as I used to, being a weary old sinner. But I still write regularly, because regularly Truth that is Beauty that is Allah s.w.t. is manifest in this wonderful world... which is transient but nonetheless a reflection of His Glorious love... masyaAllah!
