Marziya and God Face To Face

head bowed
she reaches
the doors
of his holy place
marziya and god
face to face
as he showers
his bounty
on the soul
of divinity
the human race
a spiritual
frozen moment
in embrace
invoking
the maker
through his
grace
beyond
the call of
 the muezzin
the heart
is a mosque
Allah be praised
a mosque
that with
hate
with sectarian violence
misplaced martyrdom
bloodshed we have
disgraced defaced
