A Thousand Pearls Oystered

Kun Faya Kun thrust its blessings upon the Chinook of morn

When in the far east you were again finally first born

Impatiently the sun of fall burst forth from clouds torn

In the sea of Arabia a thousand pearls oystered

They rose to a shining surface from the lowest of dark crevasses

Patiently waiting with open mouths awaiting to break fast

Dawn’s mist arose and then fell from a gentle draft

Dew sprinkling in raindrops cried and simultaneously laughed

Into the mouths of shells yearning for compassion’s distributor

Receiving their fill they shut immediately as if commanded by truth

They were

Sinking back again off the shores of Clifton beach, into the hidden depth

Bearing in their hearts the pearl drops that were blessed by her essence’s scent

Divers would give up their last breath to have caught and kept

Escaping all their hands, falling into the ocean of the eternal

They combined into a single jewel -into the heart of a Lucknowi boy it leapt

At first he didn’t realize it’s impact and he slept

Weighting in the bosom till dust off the mirror swept

It stirred in his chest with age, he woke up and wept

You are bound and unbound by a mystical chord

From the souls of creatures and your ancestors before

Be sure not to overstep the bounds, as they hold rights over us, our actions and prayers too

This binding power renders them subject to your dominion, as the soul of each is hidden in you
