SCHIZOPHRENIA:

Written by on June 30, 2024

I am the song that sings the birds.

I am the leaf that grows the lands.

I am the tide that moves the moons.

I am the stream that halts the sands.

I am the cloud that drives the storms.

I am the earth that lights the suns.

I am the fire that strikes the stones.

I am the clay that shapes the hands.

I am the word that speaks the men and women.

Courtesy of Charles Causley in the rad masterpiece,” I Am The Song.”

 

Keep my acerbity from breaking meanness.

Keep my sorrows from collapsing into self-pity.

Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking.

Keep my acerbity turned towards justice not cruelty.

Remind me that all this, every bit of it, is love.

Keep me fiercely kind.

Thanks to Laura Jean Truman.

“Take advantage of five before five :

Your youth before  your old age;

Your health before your illness;

Your affluence before your abject pins and needles;

Your free times before your harbinger of all round the clock beehive of endevours and 

Your life before your demise,” Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. (PBUH).

Shu’ab Al-Iman Lil-Bayhaqi 10,250.
