I Believe

I Believe

A Poem by Abdul Aziz

I Believe

I believe in the wisdom of trees,

In the melodies that escape

Their porous canopies as evening

Threads through drooping leaves.

 

I believe in the sound of the seas,

In the fervent applause of water on sand,

In the stories each drop of life can tell,

Of little sorrows and joys and victories.

 

I believe in the breath of the morning sky,

Each atom of blue, each island of white,

I believe in the sky of the evening too,

Its crimson drape and million hues.

 

I believe in the magic of light from the sun,

In the silent oration of streaming light,

Its pristine diction, golden eloquence

And the clarity it brings to a sleeping mind.

 

I believe in the power of your hazel eyes

And the light they refract from the depth of your soul;

I believe in time dancing slowly around you,

I believe in your love; I believe in you.

 

I believe in Him who painted

My dreams in your hazel eyes,

And my world in your visage.

I believe in Him who created you.

I believe that God planted a little bit of sunshine in your heart. With each poem, you illumine the world with shards of light that are so piercing that they touch the soul. Beautiful!

Your imagery builds seamlessly to the apex of it all, as if it were sitting upon the highest point of a pyramid. It's quite beautiful and I like the way you wrote of nature, love and then spirituality each building upon the one before.
