Being.

Entire roots of being the stillness on earth

The returner of oxygen

The magnifier of shade

A patient picture of patience on ground

Standing amongst the test of time, wear and tear

Standing amongst the test of nature reckoned against us

In summer I miss the cool breeze of autumn

In winter I miss the warmth and business of the streets

In spring I enjoy the becoming of anew, with fresh flowers and fresh fruits

A blessing from the highest and greatest of all

Home is where I'm situated

The breeze brings life to my already dead branches

Shaking the little life I have left in my leaves

When I assume I'm forgotten, a little baby runs towards me and embraces my stiff root

And reminds me of kind life in this volatile place

Often times more than not your parks stand barren

Seeing less of life everyday

Technology rules everything around us

The detriments alive and well with the mould spores that grow on my leaves

Your humans. care not if I exist for another 300 years or if I'm traded for more paper

For more pages in the their journal For more pages in their printer

For more white sheets on their billboards

While your other humans diligently fight for my right to exist

To breathe

To live

It humbles me often times more than l'd like to admit That now I understand how humans truly feel

What it feels like to live with the question in the back of your mind

"When will be my final day in earth?" And or "will even know?"

To exist is to have lived and to have died

I cannot ask for immortality when I long to be immortal in the after life As more beautiful tree

With no mould spores or blemishes

With softer branches and ethereal glow

Amongst those that I love

Closer to the God that created me

So I'll sit and enjoy the park for a while

People watching when they disconnect from the hidden world

And I'll count my blessings until my last day

For I was created to die after bearing my fruit, my flowers, my leaves and ny oxygen

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙 💕

Just as my hopes were beginning to rise with my prayers

Your name like a prayer falling from my lips sober and over as I mention you to Allah in sujood

I made sure to pray for your health and heart before I prayed for myself

And the day before yesterday I was a witness to a scene that broke my very own heart

Everything including myself belongs to Allah subhana wa tala

And it still doesn’t make sense to me why I had to witness that

Why I had to watch my own heartbreak

I know that never lasts forever, not even our souls in this realm

Things can change in a blink of an eye

I hope that it all changes for me too

Because I want you just as I’ve told Allah

I want you in my arms, I want you to sleep and wake up beside me

I want you to say my name with love and pride

I want to be the only who knows how to love you

And I want you to be the only one who knows how to love me

I want Allah subhana wa tala to bless me with you
