Peace at Last





Peace At Last

Peace descends,
And you can -
breathe once again,

And you are -
At home, where
you finally belong.

In this - desert land
of hopes and dreams,
You are lost and you are found.

Where the - sun burns
life back into your bones,
and the winds wash away
the scars of the old.

Where the - blessed saints
have tread
and you truly feel
Quran is your abode.

Where there is union
of heart and of soul
and you're soaring through the skies

When you step out
and the whole world smiles
and you're bursting at the seams
and you know you are at
peace at last.

For surely you are the missing link In a yearning hearts disquietude, A promise of guidance and fortitude. Were that I could sleep To dream of your beloved form, Witness your splendour...

Ablaze

Beat tides of indignation. Find s trength in absolution. Rise above the darkness. Ablaze, Claim the future.

Knowledge

Knowledge. This is a word that holds extortionate amounts of  weight. A word or better yet, an object that could bring down nations only to build them up again, stronger than ever before. But what does it mean? At it's heart - what is it really? In my opinion knowledge is subjective. It is influenced by age, nationality, experience, religion and science among many other factors. Not only that but its very fibres, what it really is at its core is only that which we believe it to be for we all hold knowledge (in whatever form that may be), but how we practice it, what we consider it to be differs. I, for instance, believe that knowledge is an all-encompassing light that guides us and leads on to wisdom. It is not merely the art of being book smart or knowing scientific facts, rather, a kaleidoscope of the skills we have learnt, the hardships we have gone through, the ability to inquire and seek the truth and, at its crux the understanding of the happenings around us and the ...
