ALMISKEENAH

 

 

 

THUS…..

Thus spoke the worm to the bug

the once-seeing-blinking sapphire beads are mine.

so the latter in a bug rhythm scuttled to the traces that remained of ostrich fat peppermint gel and almond oil

tinctures rubbed over sagging wrinkly skin

attempting relief from an end as inevitable as

the scorching sun pulverizing rocks to crystal sand

and a humming wind stooping to scatter dust where it was destined

only to be hit by feathers from the very same ostrich who donated the fat

in the hands of one so far from

ripening bananas oozing rubber lush tropical exuberance and salty waves

that would instantly be sweet by one drop from a wide-eyed Damsel  

all lost in adoration as they perpetually hymn HIS NAMES  

THUS….

street gangs hide under offensive billowing puffs

cavorting as if the breath was distributed free

plucking the world their instrument

haunting beating chanting clapping

jangling the pearls that are still shining lustrous threads weaving

layer upon layer of gossamer

draping pure essence of sanity drops

on all who call from wherever they may be

in this inconspicuous chiaroscuro 

mimic of art long ago

when marriage was nectar

and separation more ugly than flesh spewed after futile blasts

on lands inhabited by ones who have forgotten they have forgotten they have forgotten

they have forgotten

the Wisdom revealed

THUS…..

may chimes of remembrance hurtle through the magnetosphere and exosphere and all other mysterious twirling ospheres

of an ever expanding inflated balloon-like tiara

across embroidered domains of orbits orbs comets and blazing sparks deflecting the devils auditory mechanisms  

this tiny blimp carries a priceless cargo of

musical reflections of diamond rainbows

coloured tribes and nations

floating with intermittent glances upon the Manual scribed beyond space and time by a ruby encrusted Pen

that once wrote THE NAME that signaled the beginning of the beginning of the road to eternity

and sparked the cherished love flame that burns and binds

all together

THUS….

sang the ant to the bee and the bee to the elephant and the elephant to the date and the date to the river and the river to the blossom and the blossom to the hoopoe and and and

you to me and me to you

and us to us

and us to them and them to others 

until the entire creation swoons in a swaying ecstatic ripple

S-U-B-H-A-N-A-L-L-A-H   S-U-B-H-A-N-A-L-L-A-H   S-U-B-H-A-N-A-L-L-A-H

THUS…

where are you going ya unique and precious one

a heart dripping ambrosia from the One

a soul yearning for a destination embellished and emblazoned

with HIM Jala Jalaalahu

and HIS SallAllahu alaihi wasllam?

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
