That path you wander


Let it wander

your spirit

on heaven's path

let it roam

your conscience


Do they reflect

your inner mirror

and 

can they associate

your demons and angels


These ten in one 


Focus on your breath

soft, newborn, stilled


Meditate on your body

the male and female

open the womb

of a heaven 

and earth

joined

one


Could you,  would you

ever reach, ever grasp,

such  level of  erudition

whilst never ever use it

Not her grandfather's name

*

She was from the start

exceptional

refusing her grandfather's

*

As second of nine

she chose her mother's

adopted Zaynab  

*

Nawal Zaynab

is the name that God

will speak when calling her

*

She was exceptional 

when imprisoned 

loved the one

most that

killed

to protect

her daughter

from her husband

one more exceptional

*

Never silenced

even behind bars

ever free and fierce

*

She would've created men

without eyes

not forcing women to veil

*

A physician, a psychiatrist

a writer, a feminist, an activist

that saw the hidden face of Eve

*

Note.

In memoriam Nawal Zaynab was in this world known as Nawal El Saadawi.

[ Adverb Satis ]


To fill a bottle

and stop in time

avoid the spill


To sharpen a pencil

too thin

and it will quickly brake

and blunt


Can one reload a room fully

filled with gold and gemstones

in a six board coffin or a bodybag


Rich and/or powerful and/or haughty

and never so fortunate, yet too thick

to ever get through a  needle's  eye


I do not explore

from whence it comes

or hence it goes


Just walk a way

I am the path

I change

I live


I am life only and I leave you

this choice whether you are

good or bad - dark or clear

or  just  some  cul-de-sac.

[ Be gentle ]

 

Be gentle

    like water

flawless, sans rivalry


Yet harder

    than stone

high tide, low, deep .....


Ever closest to the path


But the masses choose land

    over water

as best, most fit, reasonless


To think

    to speak, to render

heavens' depth and sincerity 


Rule, orderly, skilled and timely


To not compete

    be faultless, clear

blameless , like water, soft


On its own

    mild, never foul, low

gentle, destroyer of mountains

[Selflessness]

 

Selflessness


When have i forgotten my desires

as long as the heavens exists

or the lifespan of planets?

Am i the wise that has saned 

his mind and his body?

Longevity as in heaven or on earth

is for those that live not for itselves.

These that have no ambition 

to be in front,

that do not care much

for the ego,

preserve,

mind not power,

mind not desire.
