Blink...Blink...Blink.

Have you ever stared directly at the Light?

As we forget to blink -

a basic human requirement -

mesmerized,

the proximity of the light expands

and everything is so clear,

Your nafs in awe, silent -

Until it reasserts itself,

forcing the inevitable,

blink...blink...blink,

and all the pointless contemplations resurface,

But the tiny specs of coloured light remain,

If only momentarily,

And poof-

Our worries, our fears, our hunger for the satisfaction of our desires crystallize our thoughts,

Even when one is in Madinah Manawarrah -

What about when I leave Madinah? What is next? When will I be back? When will I be able to experience this tranquility again?

blink...blink..blink,

With every blink we move closer to forgetfulness,

The stillness of the most tranquil moments are interrupted -

blink...blink..blink,

So why do we blink?

Allah Knows Best.
