And The Soul Knocked My Door Poem by Zainab Lone

And the soul knocked my door,
At the break of the dawn.
Asking me to face
It's unbearable light.

"Kneel down to God,
And raise your hands to pray, "
It said as it stepped,
Into my inmost being.

Love resided in a corner,
But guilt accompaniedit.
Heart wanted to cry out,
But fear kept it silent.

The soul started to shiver
And raised it's voice so high:
"Why so much fear?
Why so much guilt?

Land on your knees,
And seek forgiveness from God,
Get your holy book,
And hear the words of God, "

Catching everyword,
My feet started walking,
I bowed down and cried,
In front of my lord.
And I found what I had lost,
In the way of ALLAH,
