This Might Explain...

Hello readers,

 Escape

I get no break
I have no escape
except in my thoughts
blocking everything out
and thinking of Allah.

I have no escape
unless I find silence
and stay there

like in nature
seeing, feeling
makes me calm
and helps me find my peace.

In Allah, is my only refuge.

(written Sept 20, 11)

thank you,
Fida

Masha'Allah, this is WONDERFUL!!!
Today, my nephews and I had a blue balloon that we wanted to set free in the sky and when we did I kept looking at the balloon as it made it's way up and up and up. . .it was during that moment just looking up at the beautiful sky and seeing how tiny the balloon was getting that I found so much peace and it made me feel so much closer to the Creator. What a lovely moment!

This is beautifully written, I have loved reading your poetry since following your blog :)


I was also wondering if you could help me out? I just want to reach out to you and see if you can help vote and promote my competition entry to become a presenter which has been a dream of mine. It would be great if you could help and it only takes 2 seconds. Thank you very much if you do. Here is the link - battlefront. co. uk/competitions/entry/4618/vote

Lovely to read you again Fida - your poem express the true way to find peace in this busy world - getting closer to God is the only place where we can freely breath, knowing we are protected.
Stay well!

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
