some beauty in moments that i found solace
beyond the uncertainty of the present

She did not cry love
Enough for Me
to die on her earth
be buried in her
to melt and vanish into her soil
then sprout forth as a flower
played with by a child from my country.
Enough for me to remain
in my country's embrace
to be in her close as a handful of dust
a sprig of grass
a flower.

(*´-`) exactly

Really! ? I just guessed
(´ｰ｀).｡*･ﾟﾟhehe

Shakespear cried,

A man can die, but once; we owe God a death. Henry IV, Part II (c. 1597-99), Act III, scene 2, line 250.

Enough for Me
Enough for me to die on her earth
be buried in her
to melt and vanish into her soil
then sprout forth as a flower
played with by a child from my country.
Enough for me to remain
in my country's embrace
to be in her close as a handful of dust
a sprig of grass
a flower.

Words i come back to

I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest. The course of true love never did run smooth. I would not wish any companion in the world but you. I know no ways to mince it in love, but directly to say 'I love you'.

Much Ado About Nothing – Act 4, Scene 1

Absolving of your sin

Salah(صلاة)
Rabbana aatina fid-dunya hasanataw
A prayer asking Allah to provide good in this world and the hereafter, and to protect from the punishment of the Fire

I just for the 30th edition of my first childhood book, guess how much I love you by Sam McBratney. I read it again every night. I will be sure to read this one 🕊
