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
