THE SOUL

 

Najwa Salma Brax

 

Deep, deep into life’s shell nestles a fathomless

Secret that has bloomed such a Flower-Prophetess

From God’s mind. Truth is hidden in its deep recess,

The Womb of Life, the wonderful sun whose endless

rays permeate each being and lead us from nowhere

to everywhere, from death to life, from dark to glare,

saving the memories of past generations,

creating the rivers of civilizations,

for it’s real life set in perpetual motion

beyond the shackles of death and magic potion.

 

A weird dove which took off in a mysterious star

alighted light-veiled with rays flowing from afar.

Once it sneaks into jugs of clay a birth arises,

when You pass away, it’s like a flame you put out,

then Its light is drawn by a heavenly or mortal

World. As wonderful seeds sown in

ephemeral soil, it blooms from one life cycle to another.
