falling slowly
the light weight of rain

When words are a second sight then blindness can rob me of nothing.
I have written in darkness as if I have written in light.

give me light
if it be darkness illuminated
give me then darkness
if darkness be thy sight
give me thy vision
if a vision be that of beauty

And
You may test my words
You may gather the rivers

"O wave! Plunge headlong into the dark seas,
And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."
- Allama Muhammad Iqbal
