Wings From Above
By Umm Thameenah

An image of utter beauty, gliding so gracefully
Your confidence and sophistication, they truly inspire me.

Like a perfect entity
A servant so true and free
You amaze me
With your love that conquers all.

You’re like a bird
Because you fly so high.
Like a dove
Swimming beneath the sky.
You’re like an eagle
Determined to fly.
You’re a nightingale

Oh, how I wish that I too could fly . . .

There seems like nothing, nothing that you cannot do.
You attempt, and trust that you’ll see it through.
And although this is true
You fear that your heart is not sound
But your love, just brings your heart back round.

Like a perfect entity
Filled with true love from above.
You amaze me
With the love that has harboured your heart.
You’re like a bird
Flying on top of the world

You’re a traveller
Journeying to your Final Abode.
You’ve been honoured
With provisions that make you shine.
You’ve been blessed

With a gift that I wish was mine . . .

Your head full of love ensures you strive for your Beloved,
Most High.
Your wings of fear and hope,
keep you balanced into the sky,
Gliding beautifully for your Lord, Most High.

Like a bird, you’re gracefully flying
with precious wings from above.
You’re my soul at peace
The inner-me that I yearn to be

A Muhsinah - the elite state that I so long to achieve.
