Blue

you are the ocean
the blue without end
and you raise the sun
and dance with the moon

gently touching the sand
reaching out
reaching out to me

for the star light
and the heavens
and the roaring black choir
footprints that fade
are just memories in time

you are the ocean
the blue without end
and you raise the sun
and dance with the moon

the wind whispers your name
calling out
calling out to me

with an echo
and a violence
the tide tears apart
in a powerful sweeping
that empties my heart

you are the ocean
the blue without end
and you raise the sun
and dance with the moon

I wait for your answer
as I ponder your flight
I wait for your answer
as I cry for your sight

I've been abandoned
in your darkest despite

left alone with the blue
and the moon
and the night

*~Last Breath~*

From those around, I hear a cry,

Oh God oh God, my eyes are dry.

I hear their footsteps, leaving slow,

And then I know my soul must fly.

A chilly wind, begins to blow,

Within my soul, from head to toe.

And then the last breath, escapes my lips,

It’s time to leave, and I must go.

So it is true, but it’s too late,

They said each soul has its given date.

When it must leave its body’s core,

And meet with its eternal fate.

Oh mark the words that I do say,

Who knows tomorrow could be your day?

At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell,

Decide which now, DO NOT delay.

Come on my brothers, let us pray.

Decide which now, do not delay.

Oh God oh God! I cannot see,

My eyes are blind, am I still me?

Or has my soul been led astray,

And forced to pay a priceless fee?

Alas to Dust we all return,

Some shall rejoice, while others burn.

If only I... knew that before,

The line grew short, and came my turn.

And now, as beneath the sod,

They lay me with my record flawed.

 They cry not knowing, I cry worse,

For they go home, I face my God.

Oh mark the words that I do say,

Who knows tomorrow could be your day?

“Everyone shall taste death…the life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception”.

• Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and yet you can never have them.....when the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips, you miss them?

• Have you ever wondered which hurts the most; saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had?

• I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish them, words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in your head...to no more than living size when they are brought out....

• Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your heart...but if you don't, you might break theirs.

• Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person?

• Your heart decides who it likes and who it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own.... when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to.

• Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you?

• Too many of us stay walled because we are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or at all.

• Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever? Or fell for your best-friend in the entire world, and then sat around and watched him/her fall for someone else?

• Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?

• We tell lies when we are afraid.. afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie.... the thing we fear grows stronger.

• Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have, or could have had. No one waits forever...

Somebody did a golden deed;

Somebody proved a friend in need;

Somebody sang a beautiful song;

Somebody smiled the whole day long;

Somebody thought, "Tis sweet to live";

Somebody said, "I'm glad to give";

Somebody fought a valiant fight;

Somebody lived to shield the right;

Was the "somebody" you?

When my life has reached it's very end, And I take that final breath,

I want to know I've left behind, Some "good" before my death.

I hope that in my final hour, In all honesty I can say,

That somewhere in my lifetime, I have brightened someone's day.

That maybe I have brought a smile To someone else's face,

And made one moment a little sweeter, While they dwelled here in this place.

Lord, please be my reminder And whisper softly in my ear...

To be a "giver", not a "taker", In the years I have left here.

Give to me the strength I need, Open up my mind and my soul.

That I might show sincere compassion, And love to others before I go.

For if not a heart be touched by me, And not a smile was left behind...

Then the life that I am blessed with, Will have been a waste of time.

With all my heart, I truly hope, To leave something here on earth.

That touched another, made them smile And gave to my life worth.

Always remember to forget
the things that made you sad.

But never forget to REMEMBER
the things that made you glad...

Always remember to forget
the friends that proved untrue.

But don't forget to REMEMBER
those that have stuck by you...

Always remember to forget
the troubles that have passed away.

But never forget to REMEMBER
the blessings that come each day...

ARE THE CUPS HALF FULL?

OR ARE THEY HALF EMPTY?

Our perception will change with our choice of attitude.

We can decide to see the cups as "overflowing" by
shifting our focus to what's GOOD in our lives.

You'll make the world a better place
by making YOURSELF a happier person,

then, if you should see someone without a smile ...
YOU CAN GIVE THEM ONE OF YOURS!

NO TIME

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
