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.
