It’s What we Do
We extract.
We exhale.
Pray…plead…pledge
We create.
We consumate.
The universe is our expanse.
The earth is our tillage.
The majesty of mountains is our support.
The 7-heavens adorn us.
The stars illuminate us.
Our hands embrace hardship
Human affairs are our reality
We are the soul’s solace
The philosopher’s advice
The poet’s rhythm
The teacher’s podium
The girl’s friend
The boy’s compassion
The man’s assurance.
We are the axis of the axis
The pole of the opposites
The comfort and certainty of prophets
The fire underneath the warrior
The bridle of the steed
The impress of the foot on the path of Allah (T’ala)
The pen writing the sage’s strokes
The stream guiding to the river
The waterfall rushing over the cliff to settle in the valley
Humanity’s…
space
origin
nectar
peace
Spine of the husband,
Charity of the father,
Contentment of the son
Heart of a woman
Art of Mothering.
