You know… no one speaks of how heavy it feels
the beginning, the first step,
that space where you sense your longing,
yet the path remains veiled.
“Oh God, grant me a sign,”
a whisper laced in every prayer,
because, truly… you do not know what must be done.
“Oh, I cannot bear to lose more years chasing a fading dream,
I cannot.. just that one thing,”
as tears of desperation slip down your face.
“I beg You, please, God.”
Heart racing, breath tightening,
curled into yourself like a child in the dark
“Uh oh… something bad is about to happen.”
A pause.
“I think my life is in danger.”
But no..
it is that creeping anxiety again.
Do not despair, you remind yourself.
Oh, do not despair in the mercy of your Lord.
Open your eyes
see the bounties He has showered upon you,
so many you never even asked for.
What makes you think He won’t answer your prayers?
In everything, there is good.
He has written your story with perfect wisdom.
Do not lose hope…
Your Qareen
