A Poem for Ramadan

This poem is centered around Ramadan, a spiritual holy month for Muslims. I captured the importance and what this special month means to me. Also, how Ramadan shapes how I perceive everyday things and moments. I keep this month very close to my heart. which I attempted to write about in this poem. 

The Holy Month of Ramadan

Indeed it is not a burden, but a blessing.
from dawn to dusk 
to talk with you is to talk with he who illuminates noor 
the flowers that you so blossom 
during this month

and celebrate this as if you’ve been given a new beginning, a restart 

as if he has entered this dunya and was introduced to the blessings of such 
as if he has little to no knowledge of what Islam is.

take this as a way closer to he who has given you the heavens and earth

and you shall know what it feels like to have remembrance of he who has given him such:
given him the rivers, the flowers, the satin sheets, the roses, the air that he so consumes

and take this month as a way to be with he who you shall trust,
he who gets rid of what is poison for you like the water running through the waterfalls

the month where there is no good or bad 

but you, Allah, the flowing rivers, trees 

and chirping birds flying towards the sounds of the adhan 

the echoes of the beautiful Adhan,

indeed he is calling my name, 

come talk to me my servant

and to run to him during this month is what makes person safest. 

and to be able to take journey in this great blessing, in the month of April, we shall take|
we shall take the good and the bad and turn it into the pleasing and comfort. 

to run to you is to run to a dreamy rooftop in Manhattan, the stars that you so collide. and the crescent moon that you so provide. 

ramadan mubarak ?
