Asalamu Alaykoum my dear roses!
First of all I would like to give you all a warm welcome to my new blog. The main focus will be on love, I will be expressing my emotional thoughts, poetry and utterances on many things, but primarily on divine love. Throughout my life I have been through a difficult journey and having grown up in the west has made everything that little more difficult, nevertheless, I thank Allah (swt) for my life.
The name ‘ The Soul of a Rose ‘ was an inspiration from my original name. I will be sharing with you all the words of my soul, hence ‘ The Soul of a Rose ‘. I hope you all enjoy my blog and upcoming entries. Most importantly I pray that Allah (swt) is satisfied with every blog entry, for He is aware that Islam is my guide through this blog and most certainly through my life.
Your sister in Islam.
I sail to you in the ocean of my dreams
To a far away distant place
Of great beauty and tranquility
Where pain and suffering do not exist,
Where we give praise for our joy and happiness,
Where our love intertwines with a love for all things
O beloved keeper of my heart
The companion of my soul
You have reached out and touched the essence of my being
And shown me the way to a higher plane
Your love has awakened me from my years of slumber
A beckoning call to the spiritual world
Where my body is mist in the mountains
This is where my heart belongs
This is where my soul lives…
During many difficult stages in my life I realized that my comfort and joy were to be found in the amazing words of Allah (swt). I am not sure what I would have done without Islam and my love for Allah, I fell at many hurdles and the only thing that brought me back up was my love for Allah.
I want to share this amazing poem with you all, I hope you all see in it what I saw, and feel what I felt, and cry the tears of love that I cried.
Look at Love…
Look at Love…
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love
look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life
why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend
why talk about all
the known and the unknown
see how unknown merges into the known
why think separately
of this life and the next
when one is born from the last
look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb
the other speaks in words and signs
look at water and fire
earth and wind
enemies and friends all at once
the wolf and the lamb
the lion and the deer
far away yet together
look at the unity of this
spring and winter
manifested in the equinox
you too must mingle my friends
since the earth and the sky
are mingled just for you and me
be like sugarcane
sweet yet silent
don’t get mixed up with bitter words
my beloved grows
right out of my own heart
how much more union can there be
