Najma's Notebook

Silver lining

 

See the silver lining in every cloud

Feel the silk thread in every shroud

Hear the soft heart in every crowd

Smell the fragrance in fields ploughed

 

With attitude of  gratitude

See sorrow subdued

Blessings renewed

Rancour reduced

 

Negativity flies away

As judgement is kept at bay

Reality of what is

Seen truly for what it is

 

Fatwas – critique the self

Fixation to fix –  first the self

Finger point to the self

Learn – to forever forgive

 

Then

The silver lining will be seen

The silk thread will be felt

The soft heart will be heard

The fragrant fields will be smelt
