Nature
It's easy to search
For inspiration outside
When you feel empty
Just look around you
And let nature captivate
Your senses with awe
The world you live in
Is full of wonderful things
Waiting for your eyes
To notice them all
With a sense of interest
And curiosity
Don't you wonder
How long do butterflies live?
In their fragile state
Or how many stars
Light the sky on starry nights?
I sometimes wonder
I was bedazzled
By the sight of twinkling stars ...

[NaPoWriMo 2022] Past Revisited
Past Revisited
My visit to the old hometown
Lasted only for seven hours
When I went there last week
Such a short time to make up
For the long years of absence
But it was enough to reconnect
With the place that housed my past
And pay a brief visit to my mother's grave
Even an hour would have still sufficed
For my longing to see her tomb
A quick glance at the whole town
Told me nothing much had changed
I saw the same faces though older
The same houses that have withstood the test of time
Seeing...

[NaPoWriMo 2022] New Moon
New Moon
I noticed the new moon appearing
On my way to the mosque
For tarawi prayer this evening
It was a beautiful sight
A perfect crescent
Delicately painted
In the night sky
The month of Ramadhan
Is here again
A month full of goodness and reward
I offered a prayer of gratitude
At the sight of a new moon
Grateful that I'm alive to witness it
Allah has given me another chance
To atone for whatever sins
I committed before
Hidden or known to others
It fills my heart with Joy ...

[NaPoWriMo 2022] Coming Home
Coming Home
After almost fourteen years
I finally had the chance
To visit your grave
It took me this long
To see you
And set foot on the ground
Where you are laid now
I've always wanted to go back
To this place of my youth
This place where you chose
To remain forever when you left this world
But time and circumstances did not allow me
And perhaps I wasn't ready
To come back and reconcile with the past
Seeing your grave after all these years
Brought comfort and relief to my heart
It...

[NaPoWriMo 2022] Blessed
I am blessed and I thank God
For blessing me with this life
I enjoy today
I look back to the past and realized How lucky I am to be alive and living
At this moment in time
Despite what I've been through
Life is still the MOST precious of all gifts
No matter how hard and difficult it seemed
There's always a way out of all problems
If I do not allow circumstances
To weaken my resolve
For with life there is hope
That will bloom in my heart
When I feel defeated and lost
For blessing me with this life
I enjoy today
I look back to the past and realized How lucky I am to be alive and living
At this moment in time
Despite what I've been through
Life is still the MOST precious of all gifts
No matter how hard and difficult it seemed
There's always a way out of all problems
If I do not allow circumstances
To weaken my resolve
For with life there is hope
That will bloom in my heart
When I feel defeated and lost

Remember Me
Remember me
When my shadow has left your sight
Remember me
When the nights are long and lonely
And I'm no longer by your side
When memories are all you have
Remember me
When my shadow has left your sight
Remember me
When the nights are long and lonely
And I'm no longer by your side
When memories are all you have
Remember me

My Heartsongs
Today, I write
Of happy thoughts and feelings
I sing heart songs
Of love and joy
I spill tears of hope
And happiness of my heart
I have sang songs of sadness
Of despair and failures
Of hopeless dreams
And broken heart
In the past
In the winter of my yesterday
Now I can only bask
In the spring of my present
And sing arias of love to the wind
Of happy thoughts and feelings
I sing heart songs
Of love and joy
I spill tears of hope
And happiness of my heart
I have sang songs of sadness
Of despair and failures
Of hopeless dreams
And broken heart
In the past
In the winter of my yesterday
Now I can only bask
In the spring of my present
And sing arias of love to the wind
