I will try to write
using all trees as pens
the seven oceans as inks
but will never finish
the words and manifestation
of Your secrets.
O Allah, bestow me wisdom
and right action
in my short life journey
a stranger in cyber space
albeit irregularly
I will speak through
the heart, the wandering mind
the longing self, the spirit
of Rumi’s bird,the flows of Tao
sporadically with a touch
of Zen subtleness and love
– still I will write
to praise and ask You
for the endless gifts…
