Assalamu Alaikum,

(Written 10/2)

I am suffering a chemistry coma (if you do too much chemistry and think about amus too much this may happen to you) and I decided to go outside. This morning I went to campus about 7:00 AM and I remember the sky was really cloudy. Now the sun is blaring and I guess I got inspired to write this by that and remembering Hafiz’s poem….

—

Lights Up the Whole Sky

—

Your hands are trembling,

Your faith is broken

Your words are fumbling.

Keep your heart wide open.

—

Shadows seem to keep following you

The constant fear of giving in

overcomes the knowledge you already knew.

The line between faith and doubt seems to thin.

—

Never think when it is night the sun is no more.

Don’t even question or wonder why–

In lonliness or darkness; in the depths of your core,

Divine Hope lights up the whole sky.
