a blissful dream

in His name, most Merciful, most Gracious.

when a gush of love suddenly pours out,

and a veiled heart reveals itself,

is it real?

or just a blissful dream?

when patience becomes a trial of the heart,

and strength capable of weakening,

is it boundless?

or just a blissful dream?

when a prayer becomes reality,

and memories growing beyond the eyes,

is it everlasting?

or just a blissful dream?

she seeks for this affection to be real,

to be boundless,

and to be everlasting,

instead of a blissful dream.

"If you do not know the blessings you have when you have them, then Allah will teach you about them by taking them away from you." -Ibn Ata'Allah al-Iskandari
