When breaking the fast
As the sun heads to the west –
The sweet taste of dates
When breaking the fast
As the sun heads to the west –
The sweet taste of dates
Motions of bowing
Kneeling and heads prostrated –
Sunlight through stained glass
Continuous rain
Life under occupation –
Shimmering and proud
Between the two mosques
Sea of colourful tulips –
Seated, he sketches
One must seek knowledge
Go as far unto China –
Prophet Muhammad
Of light and guidance
Poetic and rhythmic flow
Unchanged to the dot
Jews accept him not
Christians see him as divine —
Prophet of Islam
Geometric art
Quranic calligraphy —
No graven image
Dawn and it’s raining
The athan flows with cool air —
Falling on deaf ears
