~ To Ali with Love ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ by Fairytale ~

A love too deep- Beauty
A promise to keep- Duty

A faith-filled leap- SURRENDER

Souls entwined
Forever, to find
Truth , eternal bliss
Darkness trails
dies Behind.

Prayers said
With
Hands outstretched
Catching
Angel smiles
Sent through
Rain
Drops- sparkled, shined

All heaven- SURRENDER
All mine
All yours
God-given- SURRENDER

~ a wedding wish ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ from Labina ~

Dear Ali,

May Allah bless your union and fill your lives with happiness,
Ameen

'On Marriage {nicked from... The Prophet, Khalil Gibran}

You were born together,
and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings
of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the
silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together.
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other's shadow.
