Like An Andean Condor Poem by Mohammad Younus

Like an andean condor¹...
...soaring high up to sky...
... I stop and stand still..
...motionless, in meditation...
...at the highest point...
...I could reach...
...without beating my wings...
...quietly goggling at...
... the view of the world below;
I feel myself most blessed...
... as I see God, the greatest...
...before my eyes...
...who created and goes on creating...
...the expansive earth with beautiful things;
I take a bird's eye view...
...of the whole world...
...from the highest spot...
... perching in the air;
It makes me reflect upon life...
...upon the creator...
...his creative power...
...and upon my faith...
...as a Muslim and a dervish;
I close my eyes and pray...
...to my creator in all humility...
...to allow me always as such...
...to love his magnificent beauty;
I open my eyes and give thanks...
How blessed I feel to have...
...a bird's eye view...
...of the world around me...
Everyday I see a new world!
I fall in love with my creator...
...my love increases...
...at an exponential rate...
...with every passing moment.
