Life

Falling into place it stumbles. Air and water collide. Gasps for air and stillness. The waves settle with the tide. A darkness ensues and emptiness is present. A calmness is felt momentarily.  A light breaks through clouds that hang low. Hope filters through and meets silence. A gentleness keeps them afloat. Sea breezes and salty sea air. It surrounds and comforts. The silence becomes the wind. Time stands still...the sea is on all sides. Green and blue. Waves meet waves and water is a painter. Is it helping you float or taking you under?

As the date of your birthday nears...reality dawns. You have moved on and ...your existence has moved to one beyond this earth. Somewhere far off , above the clouds and beyond the big blue horizon, I pray you have reached a peaceful haven secure and safe....you have passed on to IA a better place. Where to and how I can only imagine. I pray silently and inwardly everyday ...that this new dwelling is a blessed one where all your dreams will come true and where all your fears will never be able to touch you again.  It surprises me sometimes to think we didn't actually know each other that long but.. time had nothing to with our bond and friendship.I saw you as someone I would come to rely on, trust and over time become closer to.Conversations still feel alive. Sometimes I think the phone will ring and you will be on the other side...  I wonder if you ever look out and feel when someone is thinking of you. Do you know how deeply you have affected...

The happiness within Its there...if we look carefully A strangers smile An apology after a fight A ray of undeterred sunlight The happiness within Its there..if you care A moment of calm An old memory A hidden coin The happiness within if only we knew Rain on a reflective glass Rainbows with the sunshine Clouds clearing away The brightness of a new day The happiness within if only we knew Self reflection knowing oneself Knowledge internally possessed Striving for the road ahead The happiness within if only we knew A family united A caring gesture Knowing someone loves you The happiness within us all.

A cross road unfolds ..where do they go? A country in turmoil -people hungry for each others blood Sinking souls and struggling democracy  A natural violence inbred and unleashed Humanity reaches an ultimate low As waves rock another town Politians wear a camera flash crown A cross road unfolds..but where can they go? It is felt overseas... the tremors of a natural disaster Hearts and souls -tears and sympathy In a blessed month of peace and faith -a cross road unfolds But where do they go? Questions with no answers ...the money keeps on pouring in Are the needy being helped or is the money padding an already bursting account? A cross road unfolds ..where do they go? Bewildering and unbelievable... How worthless life seems..floods bury all they know  The few survivors thrown food like animals dignity and self respect -no more  Hunger and grief so deeply rooted it will be felt into the next generation If the next generation exists -where do th...

Standing where I was before with a newly found knowledge Where does the sharing begin? Do I start with myself and grow internally? Or do I spread it and learn as we grow? A community in need of leaders with understanding A religion that is positively glowing..with its wealth of knowledge This halo ignored by many..their concentration on the rules The rules are there for a reason ..they create a framework But where is the essence of your faith? Does your faith make you stronger or do you make it stronger Is there safety in numbers or safety in the individual Who truly needs the other? As life nears death and death becomes a reality..faith shines crystal clear Understand and learn while you can Time waits for no one. You want it …go get it Make it fully yours –share it…nurture it Own it and be it God bless

Re-focus and appreciate. Live in what you have rather than what you don't. Be aware and feel. Love, care, tenderness, appreciation and warmth. Its all there ...we ignore its presence until it is taken away...this time lets not take our dear for granted. Happiness is so much easier to find in what we do have ..right now..in what is present in our own lives than what isnt..or in what is missing. In an attempt to want the perfect life ...we forget how perfect we already have it. Blessed are those who value today and the life that comes with it.

It showers like the rain..such a lightness... It hovers over and takes a form It shines and glows and takes over It is and was and will continue to be It is mine, it is yours...it is ours I believe and want you too I see and want you too So much to share ...so much to give Endless chatter and so much more to say Take this , with that and create a potion Magical fantasies and exhilirating notions Be mine, be yours, lets mix it all up I am , you are, this is ..it will be History writes..what is -is now Live it..feel it..breathe it It is mine, it is yours...it is ours

So here it is..am taking a plunge into book writing. It is a children's book and if can get your backing...may just be lucky enough to move up the ranks of a publishing website-where people have gotten noticed before. If you are feeling generous and would like to support me-simply sign up to the site below and find me on it. My name will be Ommara / Enchanting (long story behind this second name -will tell u some other time;)). Once you have found me click on my book-which mind you is a work in progress and needs alot of editing and re-editing. Consider it a rough draft. Any feedback would be phenomenal! Hope can count on your support. http://www.authonomy.com/Profile.aspx Below is a taster: A Queen fish is abducted and a series of strange events follow.

January A new year with hope alive. New beginnings with the sunrise. Things rapidly change with blasts from the past. Hope takes a new form and things seem to fall into place. Dedication, desire and commitment come hand in hand. February Shiny and new... something big is about to happen. It does...it lingers...reality hits hard. Nothingness takes up space. Distances grow and speech is limited. Nothingness is the new tomorrow. March Mid March and happiness takes hold. Is hard to believe...Is this real? Such openness and such a rare combination of dedication along side. Endless conversations and not enough time. Giving outweighs expected receiving. Wanting to live like there will be no tomorrow. A faith in good people restored. Tomorrow is brighter than the sun. April Confusion, darkness, disbelief and the end. Goodness is short lived. A pain that hasn’t been felt before. Gripping with such intensity. Prayer with a sincerity and fear like never before. A realisation of the temp...

It was here just a minute ago I am certain it was Conversation and laughter A dream perhaps Did I live it or did it live through me Was I awake or has cognizance left Rewind this time… for once make the impossible real Let it visit me again Bring it back full force Give it the veil of reality Give it a future and give it a name Give it to me… make our destiny the same

A dedication to someone kind Someone who was a gift from the divine We know not why our paths crossed? And we try not to question endless times… Allah knows best why things happen the way they do A dedication to someone kind Someone who was a gift from the divine Blessed to meet kindness, respect and honesty An openness of emotion and such loyal dedication This all in one person-Subhan-Allah A dedication to someone kind Someone who was a gift from the divine We know not why certain people come into our lives Why certain people have an effect so strong Why short durations of time become so powerful And why our lives limit our joint experiences. A dedication to someone kind Someone who was a gift from the divine We know not why we go on living.. We know not why other people are destined not to… We know not why things don’t go as planned… We know not why we over-estimated our shared time? A dedication to someone kind Someone who was a ...

Waiting for a sign this time... Something that will indicate which way I am meant to go...Something solid like a deep rooted feeling or an unmistakeable signal from the divine. Something, anything will do. A question around judgement and decisions at the right time. A feeling of wanting the answer before the designated time. Human curiosity and thoughts that play in the mind. This time can things be different? The desire, the want and the silent prayer. Wanting things to be. A physical existence. Each road before has brought a truckload of emotions, attachments and created a general commotion. Can things be smoother this time and then can that be taken as a sign?

If you like the material on my site then do take some time to read the below one. I may author some of the pieces on it -occassionally. But for now it is run by two tremendous minds Enjoy http://usa2ksa.blogspot.com/

Open the mind and you will see How truly tremendous this life can be What was then - isn’t now and what is –won’t be here for long Hold out your hands and feel the rain Touch the emotions that wrap up this moment I am blessed to be so truly alive Feeling each second like it was fully mine Open to change and vulnerable to the unknown An echo of my past and a symbol of the future How much there is to see in so little a time Open the mind and you will see How truly tremendous this life can be Grow with each word and each sentence builds It creates with it a story for the wise to behold It constructs a castle full of history and whispers Where armies slay dragons and Kings make rules Where fires burn down libraries and disintegrate fools Open the mind and you will see How truly tremendous life can be Burning books and the last pages left The smoke and ashes won’t wash away his best As history writes itself it shines into the day Tomorrow he will write better tha...

Where the darkness meets the light My dreams take flight

Writers seldom write the things they think. They simply write the things they think other folks think they think. Elbert Hubbard   As the wise Elbert says above ... Sometimes you write what you feel and other times you write what others think you feel. Is quite fascinating how our minds work. Are we on a stage that hasn't been fully lit or are we still learning our lines. Whichever one it is. Both things are not allowing us to do full justice to our time on the stage.   This thing called the world is feeding my mind and my writing. So here is to you world...my stage ..Thank you for the inspiration.
