River of Ash


Come back,

Meet me where your tears caught fire yesterday,

Back along the boiling river of ash you left when you ran away,

Come back and show me where it hurts,

Let my cold tears ease the pain of your burns...

Barzakh





The intermediate realm… a conduit between the red earth and the blue sky… conveying the prayers of the living to the eternal being… a barrier separating the two worlds… a portal connecting them.

The soul of the saint resided in the luminous corridors… listening to the prayers of the faithful… comforting them with his ethereal presence… and when they left he supplicated the almighty to relieve them of their difficulties.

His existence transcending both life and death… in a world of dreams… his fingers counting on a tasbīḥ.
