Starry, starry night:
Hanging majestically over the Earth.
Adorning our night sky
with beautiful, radiant light.
Beacons of serendipity,
within the dark canvas
that stretches over this Sahara Desert.
The moon peers at me,
Nestled between the mountain and peak
this late Spring morning. … More Lessons from the moon

Able to perceive
how your struggle was only temporary;

Conditioned to accept the barrage of information which bombards us at hyper-speed. … More Book 2: You Suck!
Sometimes at work you just feel closed in. Bored by what you’ve got to do; restricted by the times you work; and caged in by the physical environment you’re in. … More The Cage
I wrote this 7 years ago, on the rooftop of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) mosque, a few weeks prior to Hajj 2011. It was our final night in Madinah, and this piece was inspired by the time there. Sadly, I’ve not been back since then. … More A most blessed rooftop
The sun kisses my face
as i sit here in my empty bedroom.
At utter and total peace:
outside –
the subtle symphony of the birds,
the gentle breeze rustles the leaves,
and calm permeates the air
on this gloriously sunny Winter morning… … More Peace
slip-sliding away.....
