Arabian Nights





Here's something I wrote for the holy month of Ramadan which will embrace us soon.


Arabian nights our magical time

Arabian nights come when needed most,
A spiritual enlightenment enforced by oath
A sacrifice of the day but increased blessings by night
Our body martyred for our spirit to take flight

A deep sense of belief in our religion heightened
Families come together in unison and bonds tightened
We speak of the holiest month of months
When our holiest book of books had been revealed
How lucky are we to open those verses that to others are sealed

Arabian nights warm with whispers of angels
Arabian nights fierce with the mercy of god
We might not be those who live day to day as we should
But deep in our heart he is there and we are understood

The Aroma of childhood memories of celebration
It’s the time we get them back out of isolation
The time of pure hearts and innocent thoughts
The time of selfless sacrifice and true heritage

Arabian nights when all wickedness are behind barred doors
When we are offered changing tides and sins are washed off our shores
We aspire to be better in our heart
And every year we are given a clean start

We welcome you Arabian night with open arms
Soon to be Ramadan Mubarak to all
