salam,

I walk a desert city
And kick an ancient pebble
Perhaps a piece
Broken from a mosque
A relic of the crusade

I hear the echo of a shout
Calling through the ages
For justice, freedom

O City of locked up mosques
When will your day of glory come
To open up - be free?

Yet, you bow to barbarians
Praising their corruption
Eating the fallen crumbs from their tables
Seeking approval from their evil eye

Which only sees the wealth
Hidden below the soil
Beneath the ancient stones
On which I now walk

and one more....

Thank you, Allah, for finding me
A way out of the misery
You showed me Love
And taught me how to feel
Now I am free
I know Your Love that heals

I have my dreams, You gave them life
I need only follow Your guiding Light
To let go of ego, Become as a child
To know the Joy of Your Love

Allah, what more can I ask of You
You've shown me more than I ever knew
You gave me Hope when I had nothing left
Now, dear Allah, I want to give to You

Oh, what have I but my heart & soul
Allah, they're Yours, please take control
You know the Way, so please guide my path
Thank you, Allah, I am free at last

be well everybody,
brian

it is really good to hear from you again, and I'm very happy that you have found your peace in Islam and share your poems with us.

I can contribute only a small one;

"When the stormy sea
Reaches the throat
each soul calls God

When the gentle waves
play ashore with the toes
Who still cares?"
