Love unseen.

My best, I've tucked you away safely within' my soul .
Your love a moving,resounding echo..
Nothing & no one will have any knowledge of this sacred room.
Love unseen & unheard  to the rest on this mortal plane.

Headscarf

Yes I wear a headscarf..
These intricately woven threads
Cover my locks of hair that decorate and frame my face..

This headscarf reminds me
Of where I want my mind to be..
A constant reminder...
A sweet, beautiful reminder..

Don't kid yourself
Simply wearing a cloth over your head,
Doesn't mean instant humility nor humbleness
Remember, its a sign & a reminder to yourself,
Of how you wish to live your life..
Of how you wish to be seen..
Recognized for your heart, your thought..

Let your actions live up to the Example you wish to emulate
How must one remind another?..
Hijab weaves deeper than that cloth on your head..
Its keeping in check,
Mindset... Lifestyle ...Habits..
State of mind.
Its a state of mind.

Shadow Within Shadows

Close as friends could be..
Friends undefined, I thought we were
Time revealed otherwise.
You come from shadows
When the soul needs lifting
But when fair weather comes
You make your retreat..
Now here I am..
Feeling like I'm nothing but a shadow..
Shadow within' shadows.

Dear Stalker

Go on ahead & keep tracking everything I do on my various blog sites. It doesn't bother me at all for you to spend your free time reading my blogs over and over every day or every other day!! Its your time to kill.

Just wanted to let you know I'm very aware of it...

Its normal to think of friends checking out your blogs, especially since its public, but as for you dear Stalker... We're completely out of each others lives now. I really hope you find solace & can let go of the past... Especially a past that you really have no clue about & was never really any of your business to start with.

Beauty

Beauty left to interpretation,varies from one person to the next..

But for us the beauty that awes us, isn't one that is tangible nor one that can be aged away.. 

For us, it lies within the feeling that is deeply nestled within our soul of souls.. 

A feeling and understanding that sometimes shines through our eyes, speech & gestures..

But that light is merely a glimpse of what Is.. 

For that Beauty will never have words comprehensible..

Words can't and will never contain such majesty. 

This Beauty is a blessing you and I share.. 

All praise be to Allah.

Skin Deep

Beauty is only skin deep
True beauty lies much deeper..
My character isn't defined by
These facial features...
Feminine shape..
Wild full head of hair..
Nor batting eyelashes.
I'd like to hope that any beauty you see,
Would be sincerest of
Intention..
Love for humanity..
Love for the sake of Allah subhan wa ta'ala
That is the real beauty I hope you see shining through.

Woods

Dearest of friends,

From the wild wilderness that Life has led you to.
From the woods..
Your voice I did hear as clear as day.
Crystal clear
You’re only milliseconds away.
To say I’m ecstatic is more than an understatement
Back to those woods you’ll make your return
Back turned..
Cloak of mystery, trailing..
Footprints are what you’ve left behind
Their imprint on this heart..
Heavy

Was

There was a love that once was..
Was.
I came out of the storm..
A new bird..
New terrain .. New wings
Found my way..
Flying.
For the love that once was
Lost in that storm..
His fate I do not know.
Drowned or afloat who knows..
Wouldn't wish him the worst
Burdened enough by his own weight

A message from my special sister

Dear sister, always remember that we cannot be held accountable for others actions, but our very own . Never let your grace FALL and you will always be understanding and compassionate . We have the power to change ourselves ...ourselves alone for the better and that can only make a ripple that is good . The rest is up to everyone else . Growth is a choice . See the pain in people and you'll see the fear that underlies  their actions and choice of words. Maintain calm and previously stated, grace , especially in the worst of situations . Learn to laugh smile and let things you do not desire to fill your heart roll off like beads of water ! You are the ruler of your soul and you can do so much with it . Don't hear or see things at face value as you have learned not to  in the things you have learned of with worldly on goings . Instead be steadfast in your ability to see and hear the intent reason and cause for someones words and actions to better help you understand and act upon the situation with love. We can't always teach these things to the ones we love, but we can love and show them how one should be treated because it is what we expect of ourselves . I love you dear sister . I know it is hard and you may feel weak sometimes, but you are doing great things and are great . Let it shine . Know yourself and you can handle anything . Xoxo - Wendie.R

Missing Friend

Your friend I sought to be..
Your friend I was.

Have you forgotten?
Have you let go?..

Silence is your only answer..
Heavy on my heart I feel the miles.
