Six Years

I was between me and me, absent from me

Away from the femininity and masculinity

Away from friends and family

Away from status and luxury

Away from the heavy burden of mud salty body

Away from the glitter of this world and its’ boundary

which blinded insights and subdued hearts

Away from what I know and what is concealed

To Allah (The All-Glorified, the All-High) I plead

Prophet Mohammad (puh) leads me in the streets

From the sweet water source of knowledge,

my hope, my thirst and my hunger I feed

Thinking of behaviors, sects and heresies

That I ought to heed

For my sinful soul, forgiveness I seek

Determine my self first I must lead

For six years this tongue has been harping on “One” string,

expressing “One” need

Striving in the causes that increase good deed

Suffering form the difficulties of the practical execution,

which are subject for faults and critique.

My companions, my stars, my birds of the sea

Your love is the sparkles in my eyes

You’re the reason I raise my voice and speak

When I rather live unknown, like a stranger

away from any worldly gain and  peak

With this humble self, that is strong and weak

I never intended to hurt you and make you feel cheap

when the aim to awake ourselves from the prolonged sleep

We are his servant, with a mutual love in him that is deep

How can humanity succeed!

With a Pride and arrogance that exceed

We are all going away, sooner

We are all going away, sooner or later. I found comfort and pleasure in reading your poems (not only this). And no, you are not just a typical Saudi woman. You are a well educated mind. Life needs pretty minds.
I’m now back to hypo-land. Striving to be understood. So far, all my words received no response here. The echo, I hear it like a whisper coming from far away. Imagine that you throw a stone in a pool in Riyadh but you see no effect! Later, you hear about circular waves occurring in the Atlantic or pacific oceans. Anyways:
