Poetry Tuesday: Feelings

Update 4-1-11: poem published on Dear Little Auntie.

Hello readers,


I Want To

I want to feel the excitement again
the calm, the enlightening
of praying;

I want to feel the purity again
splashing water, having a smile
if reading the quran;

I want to feel the freshness again
of being a Muslim.

Inspired by TSWS on her post, Falling in Love.

Assalaamu Alaykum Fida!
My dear, your words really do touch deep into the heart and soul, masha'allah.
Last night I had such a difficult time sleeping. . .I was up till 7 in the morning in fact! I've been feeling myself become distant from Allah (swt) and it has really brought me down. So being up in the middle of the peaceful night I prayed. It has been a while since I did so and, alhamdullilah, it was so refreshing. It's hard to put into words, but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. All day I have kept up with praying on time and it really makes a world of difference in my heart and bring such peace to my mind.
Masha'Allah, Fida, you have true talent with words. You can convey honest truth and deep feelings through your poetry. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us all :)

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
