Olives Of Allah's Altars
Folder:
Flowers Sunspun The olive tree is
the altar of Allah.
On it Allah has placed
olives free for all.
May Allah
none allow
to alter
His altars.
RUBIES OF RUBAIYAT
One needs no rubles
One needs no rupees
to mine the Rubaiyat
and extract Khayyam rubies
.. If ones heart
has great room
it may contain
the wisdom of Rumi
..
the emeralds of Hafiz
glow forever
but these are foothills
in the mountain range
of Kabir
.. they give ear
to Kabir
from Khartoum and Diyarkabir
to Kerala and Kashmir
ALLAH'S INCENSE
Allah, You have planted
seeds of desires
in the hearts of
all Your creation.
From all hearts rises
incense as prayers to
You. Be merciful to all.
I enjoyed this little gem of a poem! Good write!
I read this one prior to responding. Sometimes I like to absorb for a day or so. Last night at dinner my salad came with olives, and I thought first, of your poem. It is a good offering.
