Prayer for the tired soul
Poetry recited on 16 March 2020 For 'Poetry Tapestry Event at Khandahar Street
Prayer,
Is for the tired soul,
It is the oxygen for the soul.
Prayer,
Is for the tired soul,
A soul that goes through the cycle of life.
Prayer,
It may not be a solution to every problem,
But it is the basis of connection for this tired soul.
No matter which religion you are,
No matter how different we are,
A prayer is practiced by many
Simply by saying in our hearts,
Dear God, give me guidance.
That tiny whisper of yearning,
That yearning of guidance,
That binds humanity together,
To the reliance of a higher power
To Him, shall we return,
To Him, shall we be resurrected.
Life
Written by Nur Afiqah
Life is simply here,
To stay with the wind,
Life is simply here,
For us to learn to hope,
Life is simply there to teach us to be hopeful,
Follow your heart,
If you can't follow your towering dreams that seem unreacheable,
Follow the dreams of your dear heart.
Life is simply a wonderful dream,
For us to strive through the tough challenges,
To tread through the obstacles,
And to part ways from my past self,
Life is for those who choose to believe in themselves,
Life holds dearly to your conviction to live well,
Live well.
As it is all that life has to offer.
Spiritual Heart
Written by Nur Afiqah
Beneath the physical being,
there resides a soul,
A soul that is survived by a spiritual heart,
A spiritual heart that is awakened by a prayer.
A prayer gives oxygen to its soul,
Bear nourishment for its good.
Ohh spiritual heart
Bear witness to my Lord,
That I miss Him
I miss His presence in my prayers
I miss Him, the only and only God,
For he is my Creator,
Who created me out of clay.
