Moment Of Truth

That moment in your life when you need to decide between light and darkness. You may tread the path that leads to light or, if you wish, take the path that ends in darkness. 

Even in the light, one must watch one’s step to avoid stumbling;
once in the dark, it makes no difference whether one can or cannot see where one is going,
for the gloom darkens with every step till darkness becomes one’s destiny.

But sometimes in the dark, before the first misstep, one regrets the path taken and may want to turn back to that fork in the road of life where the journey began.
If one so wishes to take that path—
‘And indeed guidance is given to them who desire it.’

 The Perfect Mentor – Umera Ahmed

Ashes & Flame [Complete]

 

The ashes were on flames again
But with hope of the burn again

They couldn’t catch the fire
as there was nothing left.

But the hands & sleeves caught fire
Burning with the rising pain

It was silenced in the end..
With sand that lay there.

The door of secrecy unlocks
A glance of future, it holds

Tears burns the heart and soul
A prayer that never comes, finds its way through the door

What He saves, is the safest of all
All the ashes were then all gone.

Loneliness

 

“Pray that your loneliness may encourage you
into finding something to live for,
great enough to die for.”
– Dag Hammarskjold

For when you find the pieces, you find yourself.

Have Faith

“Oh my heart, Don’t become discouraged so easily. Have faith. In the hidden world, there are many mysteries, many wonders. Even if the whole planet threatens your life, don’t let go of the Beloved’s robe for even a breath.”

~Rumi

Search For Strength

“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.”

~Anna Freud

Deafened By Desire

“Deafened by the voice of desire
you are unaware the Beloved lives
in the core of your heart.
Stop the noise and
you will hear His voice
in the silence.”

– Rumi
