Always With Me Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Staring at the signs
Looking for a rhyme
Looking for your words
That's worth a lifetime
Bursting our humanity to deny
Hoping our fragility won't defy
The curious element of a puzzled life
Planted faith that grows to revive

Oh, and i can feel it in my veins
The love that conquers everything
The sky was clear, but now it rains
I think my answer had just became....

Always with me
No matter how long, how hard, how far
No matter how strong are the limits and the bars
The fire that burns a shimmering star
Oh, no matter how far you are
I will let you shine
Always, always, always...

I've been asked before
About the meaning of words
Reaching from an infinite voice
That kind of source i exploit
Now the yearnings i scream
I learn are promises
And the earning i plead
Is what he encompasses
Now i join the heartfelt movement
Of the souls in torment
We are the followers
We are the pacifists
We are in other words
Destiny strategists

This newborn city
Will not feed on pity
The taste of faith can
Never taste as gritty
Because im tasting it now
And im always tasting it because

It's always with me
No matter how long, how hard, how far
This weathering soul can never dissolve
This determined soul won't fall apart
This isn't all, this isn't all
But now i have the courage to stand
Above the sadness that covers lands
I can honestly say im new and brand
With you everyday
Because you're always with me
Always, always, always....
