My Climb

God in his divine divinity
I saw in my dream’s reality
My heart filled with submission
No thoughts entered this finality

My wandering heart found a well
Where my immense thirst could dwell
The place of holy suspension
No time for pride to swell

My darkest and deepest fear
Which I held to myself as dear
With expanding dimensions
Saw godliness getting near

The still point on the wheel of time
About which poets wrote in rhyme
I now accept with absolution
Getting ready for my climb

'No time for pride to swell' Yes pride within one's self is the downfall of molded dreams and aspirations, we do have a special place of holy suspension, where our power of love's essence has store. Congratulations on a great rendition of my contest theme, Tahera. Agape, Moses

Hey, Tahara, I really like how you concluded this with the inspirational words of the last two lines. I think that was a cool idea you had to change the ghazal a bit. I've only tried one ghazal and they are very difficult. LUv ya, andrea
