One Of Those Times..


Its one of those times!

You may wonder what am I talking about? I mean there are no words giving an introduction to what type of times I am talking about. And without words how could you grasp what is it that I want to say, right?

Well, its exactly one of those times!

There is a lot that is going on, like the surface of tumultuous sea on a full moon night, yet all those crashing waves just gather together, building up. Tightening the space inside the chest. They dont form words. Words sound like empty meaningless sounds like the howling wind over the sea surface... the pressure mounts, the raging salty waves look for a way out. About time the islands of sight shall be flooded .... 

And the wind keeps howling!
Howling like a crazy beast!
Words that depict nothing. Void. 

Its an empty echo, a meaningless sound of some words ringing hollow..


And I try desperately not to get sub merged into this tsunami.

So I cling to it!

O You Who Are The Light of the Heavens and the Earth, 

O You Who Are the Beauty of the Heavens and the Earth, 
O You Who Are the Support of the Heavens and the Earth, 
O You Who Are the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, 
O You Who Are the Possesor of Majesty and Kindness. 
O The One Who Hears the call of the callers, 
O The One Who Helps the ones seeking help, 
O The Last Resort of the seekers, 
and The One Who Frees the distressed, 
and The Reliever of the sorrow-stricken, 
and The Acceptor of the prayers of the afflicted, 
and The Remover of afflictions, 
and The Greatest of the Merciful, 
and The One worshipped in all the worlds, every need is presented to You,
O The Most Kind and The Most Merciful. 



You see its one of those times!

Who else could understand it?

I can relate to this one
I think every one can relate to this too.
I read something similar to this in Arabic.
Your way of writing is very close to Nizar ( Whom I am very crazy about his books).
I wish I understood it in your language but I am sure it is good as you do in English.
I tried to translate one of your posts to arabic and sing it unfortuntely It did not sound as nice as it sounded in english So i will try my luck this time and if i have some luck I will send it to you as clip with your name as an writer if you are ok with that.
Salam
Way to go Ya Leenah

I am humbled... Indeed very kind of you, msafer!

If I am OK with it, you ask? ... Flattered is the word actually! :)

An attempt to encompass the turmoil into a vaccum. Or try to wrap oneself in a glass container..for the moment light would suffice!

meer, You noticed the goblet in the image?

Its for indulgence into intoxication, Divine intoxication. Nothing beats that!

I see the goblet , but it refracts the image it draws from outside. If you are referring to it's symbolic, then I guess it is to be left to the viewers perspective.
