Restlessness

fidget! fidget! fidget!
until you can't do it anymore

fall! fall! fall!
until you reach the Bottom of the universe 

run! run! run!
until you gasp at your last wavering breath  

hide! hide! hide!
until you fade into the darkness of abyss


drown! drown! drown! 
until a hand Catches you

gasp! gasp! gasp!
until Your lungs are free of Water

see the light?
you see it ... can't you?

Wa-Iza Sa-laka Ibadi Ani Fa-ini Qareeb. (Al-Quran)

"Am truly near.
 I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me"

Indeed.I am glad I conveyed the sentiment of Hope and the Light. Despair leads us to no where so trust in the Plans of Our God. Stay Hopeful
