Love

Love

All it takes to rediscover 

The soul hidden beneath 

The grime-stone

Is that secret which uncovers

The silent longings of a deafened heart -

That overflowing of love where

Your heart is a falcon

Beating wings into your chest, 

Where the sky is the limit

and you are climbing

Higher and higher until

You can't tell where the sky ends

and you begin.

All it takes to restore

The fitra of your core 

Is the commandment to do good

and prohibit evil - 

That upheaval of the norm where

Your psyche is a lion

Tearing darkness from your chest,

Where the earth is your oyster 

and you must abandon

Its pearls until 

You can't tell where love ends

and you begin.
