And so I stand,
In absolute awe of what i see,
My feet can carry me no longer,
My eyes no longer can contain the tears,
My heart becomes overwhelmed,
My lips uttering nothing but Praises of my Lord,
I gaze up at the House of Allah,
So beautiful, a mesmerising sight,
I am in utter amazement,
At the fact that I'm here,
My Lord invited me to His house,
How I must be so dear,
Alhamdulilah are the words flowing from my lips,
What a Wonderful place,
To my left and right I hear takbeers,
People praying, crying with humility,
O how I could live this moment forever,
Is this all a dream?
Making Du'as after Du'as,
My heart letting everything go,
I'm finally here,
Makkah - my Lord invited me
Really captures the excitement of seeing the Ka'bah for the first time! Really well written, masha Allah.
ReplyDeleteAssalaamu'alaykum..oops sorry, I was going to write a comment a couple of days ago, but then I forgot :)
ReplyDeleteMasha'Allah it's a brilliant poem, I love the use of 'Anaphora' from line 3 onwards ;)
The use of anaphora through the word 'My' really shows this persons bewilderment on seeing the Ka'bah, the word is repeated several times as this person wants to preserve the moment they are witnessing, so they rapidly narrate what they're seeing and how they feeling as they want desire to pour out all that they feeling at the mesmerising sight before them.
Yay! Our English analysing skills payed off...I got to analyse your poetry, hehe :D
I just realised how many spelling and grammer errors I made in that comment, hehe, I'm so paagal!
