In the Absence of the Sun
In the Absence of the Sun
by Nauman Abbasi
I love God for all that He's done
That I'll pray on my knees
In the absence of the sun
On little pebbles and rocks
That deliver my legs sharp pains
While each drop hits down on me
Soaking me in the pouring rain
I'll humble myself in front of God
And enjoy every moment I partake
With my clothes drenched to never dry
Yet my faith won't waver or shake
With the elements against me
With desires to fulfill my obligation
In the rain with lightning pain
On my knees down in prostration
All for the sake
Of fulfilling my duty to my Lord
For the One that I love and worship
And for the One that I do adore
My inconvenience is insignificant
For the reward that I aspire for
I'll pray in the rain if I must
So let it pour, let it pour.

Hmm... I don't know whether to comment here, or at Target-Theory? :S
Any poem that has rain in it is already something to go ga-ga over... (except the "Rain, rain, go to Spain" one).
On the whole, a cool, intense little poem - it shows you know exactly what your priorities are. Now that's a blessing!
But, Asmaa, *why* on earth did you post this poem here? And *what* connection does the One-Inch tall poem have with the post over at Target-Theory? (It's a cute poem though!)
Please excuse this insolent brain.
Amora,
No worries, your insolent brain is welcome here anytime. In fact, you will fit right in. >:)
If you think about it, the one inch tall poem fits the "Isolationist movement" post quite a bit. Just keep thinking.
And I posted "In the Absence of the Sun" because I read it a long time ago and liked it, then came across it recently and liked it again. And when I like things, I share :)
salaam :D another cool poem!
