Keep Walking

Every day I get closer to our Meeting,

I feel like I have been walking this path for a thousand years towards You,

And yet still i am not there..,

So close, and yet so far still.

But I keep walking,

Despite the tears,

Despite the winds,

Despite the skinned knees and broken bones,

Despite the bruises and scar that make this heart that what it is today,

I keep walking…toward You.

There’s only one direction,

One direction..toward You,from You, to You,

I have nothing else.

Nothing.

That is my poverty.

I keep walking

Because behind every sun’s setting is a rising,

Behind every storm is a Refuge,

Behind every fall is a rise,

Behind every tear is a cleansing of the eyes,

And in every spot I have ever been stabbed, is a healing,

And the creation of skin stronger that it was.

I keep walking

Because wallahi I have nothing but Your mercy

I have nothing but Your promise

Your words

Your promise

That:

“O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with (great) exertion and will meet it.”

(Quran, 84;6)
