Sincerity.
Where to begin describing her?
Haven't you heard?
Sincerity leaves her subjects speechless.
Pure in form and element.
Validation
or reward
are not notions she understands.
Sincerity stands alone.
She leaves you captivated and in wonder.
Suddenly hope is familiar
and life has renewed meaning.
She has no hidden arrangement
and no foul intentions.
She poses like a secret charity
written solely in His books.
Sincerity leaves you alone with your thoughts
of awe and wonder
and you'll ask;
What are you Sincerity?
The only arrangement she has must be with Him, you think.
How I long to spend a moment exploring
the mind of the sincere.
I see Sincerity in you too.
And you often remind me of a tree;
strong roots
and endless branches;
bearing fruit in sacrifice
to other forms of life.
Regardless of where your fruit end up,
rotting or immersed in the ground to form a new tree,
your roots
stay firm and idle;
connected to the soil that gave you life.
Have you seen the way a tree stands?
Have you noticed the way its branches look up to the sky?
Like arms in supplication and surrender;
in full knowledge that no matter how high its branches will look down,
it will forever remain frozen in the position of submission to its creator
and me?
I am only left with
subhanallah
alhamdoulillah
and Allahu akbar.
