#2 Bismillah

Bismillah

To start a blessed journey through poetry

To draw dots on the i’s and cross the T’s

For God to enable us to output all that’s sweet to the ears, like bees

To create a God-driven conquest like the Golden fleece

To connect with you on a deeper level like a gypsy with a crystal ball empathizing your fears

Bismillah,

everyday and every minute as we speak

As our motivation goes bleak

As you battle your way to the peak

Comfort your heart as you offer nature a painful shriek

Bismillah,

As the Fajr brings a new hope over the crowing of the deek*

Bismillah,

As I pray to be shown my way as I seek

*Deek = Rooster in Arabic

– Ali Al-Qaisy
