It was a Sufi gathering
few years back
A friend asked me to check it out
"We do Zikir" he said
"maybe you could join".
There was a discourse going on
the master was a dervish
talking about God, he said
you must fear Allah.
The crowd hundred strong
good humble Falk
devoted dervishes
listening with awe.
I butted in abrupt
cutting off the master
voiced my point of view.
"You can't fear what you love
they are not compatible
fear destroys love!".
There was silence for a while
nobody dared breathe
I had broken protocol.
Finally the master spoke
regaining his composure
" The fear is of losing Allah
by committing a mortal sin,
that is what I meant ".
I walked out of that room
but not before I had my say
"You could have said so
in the first place baba dervish,
I was going to Zikir with you
instead I'll dance on my own,
may Allah stay with you".

Your poems have a flair whatever is spoke
The same is true of the diety you invoke
When push comes to shove, we're all under
yoke,
Your actions can't be hidden under a cloak |
