Ramadan Photo A Day 2014: Days 21-30

21-22.FEar.Hope

Days 21 and 22: Fear and Hope
This world is not safe for children.
Children could grow to save this world.

23-24.Gentle.Harsh

Days 23 and 24: Gentle and Harsh
My faith; the cool spots under pillows.
So far from yours; damning and bludgeoning.

25-26.New.Old

Days 25 and 26: New and Old
You are still my fresh horizon love,
an accomplice to set these years alight.

27-28.Remembrance.Forgetfullness

Days 27 and 28: Remembrance and Forgetfulness
The Almighty knows best of human caprice.
When we are ready, He is there.

29-30.Temporary.Eternal

Days 29 and 30: Temporary and Eternal
These sticky things like pain and doubt,
They too lose tack and flick away.
