Group Poem 16 (ekphrasis): The signs are everywhere

We walk in this earth as we are going to remain forever
Thinking about death is to hard too remember
But if you did you might have changed
Don’t you have 25 minutes of your day?
Few minutes each day we talk to our Lord
The All-hearer, the All-knowing
So why can’t you change?

The signs are everywhere
From birth to grave
Miracle?
Had it been minutes instead of years
They had woke up

The noble Quran
With no mistakes
Only pure guideness
Darwin Evolution
It’s no chance

Can’t you see?
The ocean, the sun
Perfectly, then moon arrives
Saying hi
Stars that shines
There is a sign

If you can look up,
You can get up
Right up from the dark
There is a light
Waiting for you to declare,
One day you would be there
Visiting the graves as they were your soul mates
You cant say hi nor good-bye

For those who believe
Everything is a sign
So why can’t you see
That there is only one God, but
Allah..
