Signs
Signs
In all that my eyes behold, I see such splendor.
In the waxing of the moon and the rising of the sun I see the signs.
In the sparkle of a star and the opulence of the clouds I see.
When a child is born and a mother cries with joy I see.
When the ocean caresses the shore and seagulls call, I see.
With every sight I take in my eyes are overwhelmed.
How can there be such beauty?
How is I can see such grandeur and deny the truth?
In all that my body can sense, I feel such majesty.
In the feel of silk on the skin, I feel the signs.
When I feel the touch of my husbands embrace I feel.
When I feel the texture of sand, each microscopic grain I feel.
How can there be so many experiences of touch?
How can I feel such humbling feelings and deny the truth?
In all that my mouth can taste, I savor such greatness.
In the freshness of milk straight from bosom of the cow I taste the signs.
In the exquisiteness of ripe melon on a hot day, I taste the signs.
In the intense tenderness of my husbands kiss I taste the signs.
How can there be such amazing tastes and always more to come?
How can I taste the experiences of the world and never be bored?
How can I taste of this life and deny the truth?
In the sound of thunder chasing the lighting, I hear the signs.
In the sound of water licking at stones in a brook, I hear the signs.
In the sound of the Adhan being called to the world, I hear the signs.
How can I hear such wonder and still not hear it all?
How can my ears experience the world yet there is never pure silence?
How can my ears hear all that is in this life and deny the truth?
In all that is to be sensed in this life, only Allah has created.
With every experience my body takes in my heart rejoices in reverence.
With every sign I encounter I know Islam is the truth.
I can not experience life and doubt you majesty and brilliance.
I have never been surer of anything as I am of Islam.
For it is in the signs that all is confirmed in my mind.
