Tuesday and Wednesday Poems and Gratitude Lists

Fiḍál (Grace), 3 Qudrat (Power) 175 B.E. - Tuesday, November 6, 2018

Peace
Is Not Accompanied By Silence1

Vibrations
flow across the landscape
of creation,
inscribing rhyme and rhythm
into the flesh of Being.

Retreating
to the far corners of eternity,
silence flees
the intonations of reality.

Poet's Riddle2

We are the sight of humanity,
And guides to the essence of reality.

We are the conscience of civilization,
Beacons indicating the next stage of evolution.

We are the scribes of history,
Journalist Transliterating chronology.
