The Islamic Garden
And So The World Turns
Selma Cook
The
world turns with cries of miserythe twisting turning fate of mankind
ebbs between conflict and still silence
resolution and peace so rare
like drops of water on a twig
waiting their turn to fall
What balances all this woe?
What is the element that uses the tools of life
the playing field
to guide towards good or bad?
It's the inner reaches of the human mind
The place where creativity darts and bolts
or lies dormant with a snarl and bubbling frustration
ready to leap and hijack
and attempt at growth or expression
If the inner life; the inner workshop
of the soul do not shine
there will be layers and layers of
outward turmoil and sorrow
and no reflective image in the soul
to render that image into joy and peace
You Are Creative!
