TRANSFORMATION

Celestial Moments

Horizons spun 

With celestial moments…

Cosmic flight

Only birds would notice!

Lovestruck

Just perchin’ hopeless!

On branches swoonin’

In the breath of roses!

Their hearts fall silent

And their feathers open…

As pearls overflow

From the clouds and ocean!

They become weak 

When they learn their quotient

But regain strength

As they take to motion!

Arrivin’ poor

But departin’ golden!

In their hearts a Light

That the sun has opened!

Even hearts of ice

Melt in devotion!

Allah! Allah!

Stirrin’ up their potion!

Saved as they drown 

In their river of voices…

In one song joined

A universe in solstice!

Cleansed as the waves

Wash away their falsehoods!
