Part II: The Gift of all Gifts

by Abdulla Al Zayani

My Dear friend

Allow me explain anther point

A divine point

From the Force above

The Maestro of all

Allah!

 He gave us only one gift

The gift of all gifts

Zipped in one file

Containing all gifts

Can you guess it?

I will share it

Simply:

The gift of Being

In here and now

But then

Nothing in this world is a gift anymore

Whatever has to be learned must be

Learned and earned

the hard way

through

Knowledge

And when you go to knowledge

Go to it as if you are going to

War:

Be Wide-awake

With fear

With respect

And with

Assurance.

Any other way is

A mistake

And whoever makes it might

Never live to regret it.

A man armed with the four above

if fails or suffers

A defeat

He will have lost only a battle

And there will be no

Regrets over that.

Because there will be another battle

This is how a warrior lives his life

With lightness and fluidity

And endless follies

Always looking for the fields of energies

And enjoying the gift of being

Of the world around him

This is my friend is

the Gift of all gifts

very nice

very nice

l liked it

very much

i look out

the window

and see many

trucks and cars

buildings and sunshine

streams of unknow

and unknowable never

to be seen again

people

coming and going

so it seems from my

vantage point as

i turn around to face

the writing pad

then come back

to the street scene

everything has changed

in the blink of an eye

i know

that in the future

they and i are all

dead leaving behind

not even a scratch

and the future is here

not even a hairbreath away

always moving in

and metamorphosing

into the slippery sliding

ever present present

both particle

and wave

here and not

here at all..

..........to be continued.
