This lady I know…

There’s this lady I know, she’s been through so much.
She’s been to hell many times and back, yet her flame of courage has not died down.
Glowing bright and strong in the blackest of nights, she lives on. 
She has strengths that amaze men.
She smiles when she wants to scream. 
She sings when she wants to cry. 
She goes without so her family can have.
She loves unconditionally.

Rumi

When my coffin is being taken out; you must never think I am missing this world…
don’t shed any tears; don’t lament or feel sorry
I’m not falling into a monster’s abyss.

I’m not leaving; I’m arriving at eternal love.
When you leave me in the grave; don’t [...]

Do you still remember?

Do you still remember?
I was six, my first day at school,
I cried for you when you dropped me off
Then I looked forward to everyday of school
Carefree and ignorant of the world.
Oh how I [...]

Gone to the Unseen

I dedicate this poem to my grandfather. May he RIP.
Gone to the Unseen
At last you have departed and gone to the Unseen. What marvelous route did you take from this world?Beating your wings and feathers, you broke free from this cage.
Rising up to the sky you attained the world of the soul.

You were a prized [...]

A marriage proposal- not mine!

Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted,like the face of a mirrorthat contains no images.If you want a clear mirror,behold yourselfand see the shameless truth,which the mirror reflects.If metal can be polishedto a mirror-like finish,what polishing might the mirrorof the heart require?Between the mirror and the [...]
