Received this through email......Kind of describing myself.....


A Lonely Heart

A lonely heart yearning,
What for? Not indeed a partner
Through a lonely hearts’ column,
Would that it were as simple.

This heart seeks light,
Unlike any other light -
One that blazes forth like a signal
From those who have already found it.

This heart seeks peace, from the suffering …
…of greed
…of hatred
…of anger.

This heart embraces the pain …
…of taqwa
…of repentance
…of joy.

This heart is one which spirals
Down, and down - further and further,
In a freefall as though it is doomed
To smash upon the ground
In a million fragments…yet…
At times this heart seems to
Sprout wings
Fly
Soar
Like a bird,
Rising, and rising -
Attempting to reach the light,
The light upon light,
Of the One who created it,
On a day of no escape,
A day of unimaginable joy
And unimaginable pain.
