Somewhere, deep within us
Shadows encircle a pond of Light
Befriend them one by one
Offer them a listening ear
Put your hand on your heart
Speak softly and say Salaam
How quickly it sets them at ease
Say: I have heard your cry for help
What is it that has hurt you?
Do not worry my friend,
I’ve brought patience and love
Let me hold you a little while
Come, let your heart hear my heart
As I offer you the peace of my arms
A sacred space for your healing
Tell me your story and lighten your load
Let me be your caravanserai
You have a long journey ahead
Let’s fill these wounds with Light
So that even in your shadows,
you will find endless Light.
