The Essence

 

In shadows cast by sorrow, reflections gently sway,
A humble man departed, in prayers we now stay.
His life was shrouded in service, a lesson most profound,
With every whispered memory, his spirit still surrounds.

Not lured by worldly titles or the glint of fleeting fame,
He walked a path of kindness, his faith lit like a flame.
In every act of mercy, in wisdom shared with grace,
He nurtured seeds of knowledge, in his family’s embrace.

With laughter shared in gatherings, and quiet, tender care,
He taught us all to cherish, to be present, to be fair.
Though heartstrings pull and ache, his essence won't depart,
For love and faith he gifted still live within our heart.

As we recall his journey, in tears our eyes do swell,
Gathered together the family while tears in our eyes did swell.
His legacy is written in the smiles and gentle sighs,
The humble life he led, a truth that never dies.

Lost Thoughts

In quiet moments, I wonder if you feel my heart, 
That love remains, yet ideals keep us apart. 

Thoughts unspoken linger, emotions hard to define, 
A box of shared dreams, but the truth’s still mine. 

Our hearts are tender, yet bound by what’s right, 
We navigate this silence, avoiding the fight. 

Through cherished memories, we find bittersweet ease, 
Two souls intertwined, but lost in the freeze.  

Heart it

 

His heart aches while the lungs gasp for air,
His tongue stays quiet, though my soul's in despair.
His confused mind with itself about words in debate,
Has wisdom escaped while upon is cast his fate
Is time a thief, or does it wait in love's light,
To share the words, to shine through darkest night?
These tangled thoughts, like chains, hold him in place,
The pain, it blossoms, yet fear masks my face.
He imagines whispers that edges him to despair,
If love had known the secrets hidden there.
Perhaps these jewels of his thoughts he tries to share,
Are just the pieces of a broken heart laid bare.

Alone

 

Some souls are bound to tread the path of solitude, 

Though crowds may gather, their hearts feel subdued. 

It's more than just a mind or body adrift, 

It's etched in the marrow, a painful rift. 

Not simply the eyes, but a haunting awareness, 

A cry for connection met with cold fairness. 

Once burned, twice hesitant, they wear their scars, 

Misjudged as distant, beneath the stars. 

They wander through gatherings, yet feel so apart, 

Their essence overshadowed, a weight on the heart. 

In a world that forgets, their shadows grow tall, 

A silent existence, where silence says it all.

Innocence

A moment in Time

 

A moment in Time            

                                                                                Abu-Tameem

Every thought envisaged and every prayer said, is just another moment in time that has passed by

Man was not created to live eternally in this world which is but an abode for a finite time until we die

Yet Satan, the horned and accursed one, has so easily found the weakness of man, a somewhat forgetful creature

Desiring paradise, but considers not time his friend, even just a moment in time,  and so seek, in this world, eternal leisure

Those, who truly understand, will know that life on earth is not that long, but it is merely a moment in time

The eternal life of paradise with its beauty does await us, save for those who will commit the ultimate crime

Fooled are they who seek only the pleasure of this world and look to dominate and mastery of all other

Alas by their guile, under the misguidance of one undoubtedly evil, they do poison minds and clear thinking smother

How amazing a creation are we not, such that to God we owe gratitude for the perfection in truly amazing detail

Our worship is as flawed as the harm we bring to our bodies when we recognise not what the rights of our bodies entail

An immune system well organised to ward off alien invasion except that you follow not the guidance of its Creator

Eat from that which is wholesome from the ground which He made fertile through the rains he sent as a blessing

Nay, man is impatient and ungrateful, finding ways that bring harm to himself as he with his body is messing

The Most Perfect Creator has left nothing to chance but gave respite to Satan to mislead man if he really can

Like the Pied piper does Satan lead man astray as he diverts from the true guidance as he does plot and plan

Subjugate them and make them forget that life in this world is nothing more than a moment in time

Offer to save lives with the deadliest of means for which they will hurriedly line up like it is showtime

Beguiled and befuddled are the masses by masters who have much love for the dollar like there’s no end to this life

Truth is belittled and trampled upon while the tsunami of lies does cause many a painful death and earth-shattering strife

The best of speech is that of our Creator so take just a moment of time and attentively you must lend an ear

He says “then which of the favours will you deny?”  amongst which is the well-designed body whose harm you now fear

Why then do you challenge your Most Merciful Lord with your insistence of getting help from Satan and his cronies

When his promises are false and they are those who today are masquerading as your saviours are but indeed phonies

Eat from the wholesome food from your Lord, the Best Provider, and refrain from a needle that in it has only harm

When you realise that your life on earth is but a moment in time, place your faith in God and not a shot in the arm.
