Is it succulent and sweet?
The deep night,
In whose soft shadows I worship,
And weep.

Is it lip-biting and white-knuckled?
Silently I grip the keys,
To my house in Paradise.
Because Allah knows I am right.

Is it resilient restraint?
Persistence through the perilous days,
Of insidious whispers,
That I refuse to heed.

Is it acceptance of His Decree?
No blasphemous utterance,
Of ‘if’ or ‘why?’
Uttered in a fit of grief.

Is it the obedience of a surrendered soul?
The silence of a battered ego?
Desperately seeking,
The Pleasure of its Rabb?

Or is it just a dream,
That one day …
I will be patient,
And enter Paradise.
