• the dryness and the rain

First came a strong wind
Rippin' off rooftops like bottlecaps
And bending lamp posts down to the ground
Then came a thunder
Shattering my window
But you were not that strong wind
Or that mighty sound
That left the bar in shambles
The rabbit hutch in ruins
The split-rail fence splintered
And the curtains torn
All the cows out from the pastures
Trampling on the pumpkins
And the horses from their stables
Ambling in the corn

Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam

I've flown unnoticed just behind you like an insect
And I've watched you like a falcon
From a distance as you passed
You swoop down to be nearer
To the traces of your footsteps
To pick the fallen grain from the dirt
Beneath the crooked grass
And I'm going to take that grain
I'm going to crush it all together
Into the flour of a bread
As small and simple and sincere
As when the dryness and the rain
Finally drink from one another
The gentle cup of mutual surrendered tears

Come on!

A fish swims through the sea
While the sea is, in a certain sense
Contained within the fish!
Oh, what am I to think
Of what the writing
Of a thousand lifetimes could not explain
If all the forest trees were pens
And all the oceans, ink?

Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salam

Nastagh-firuka ya Hakam
Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram
Isa ruhu-lah 'alalihis-salat was-salam
Ya Halim, ya Qahhar
Ya Muntaqim, ya Ghaffar!
La llaha ilallahu, Allahu Akbar!
