The One Who Responds

today i am thankful
for the losses of yesterday
for the anguish courtesy of the world
ruminating in circles until i reached the centre
it was an invitation to your doorstep
you opened the door as soon as i called your name
al-Mujeeb
a river of light invisible to the eye rushed towards me
wrapped in a cocoon of mercy
i am reborn
today i am thankful 
for the call from home
asking if i am ready to return
