Standing there in the blowing wind,
watching the colors on the horizon,
and the rippling, metallic silver waters,
I felt so alone.
As I watched the palm trees sway with the wind,
and the radiant sun dip into the golden land,
I felt so alone.
As I watched the angel-white seagulls
soar majestically over the darkening horizon,
and the rhythmic rolls of the waves,
I felt so alone.

As I lifted my face
to the rosy sky,
a tear made its way down my cheek.
I closed my eyes,
trying to hold back the pain.
"Oh, my Lord." I whispered.

I had no one to wipe my tears,
no one to whisper softly into my ear:
"It's going to be OK.",
no one to take the pain away,
no one to heal my wound.

I opened my eyes suddenly
because I felt someone's presence.
But I could see no one around me.

Someone was there,
somewhere,
because I could feel
a bright and bold Presence.

It was a reassuring thought,
a Remedy for my cuts,
a deep Serenity,
that chased my fears away,
a radiant Sun
that brightened my soul.

I closed my eyes again,
but this time, it was to savor this feeling.
A smile played upon my lips,
as realization dawned upon me.

I would never feel alone again.
As long as I remained righteous.
For the Presence I felt
was the presence of Him.
My Lord, The Merciful,
The Almighty Allah.

No matter how hard life gets, no matter what you go through, no matter what happens, Allah is with you, Allah knows what you feel. And, wallahi brothers and sisters, that realization is soo beautiful and just so comforting.
