Submitted by : ponderings on Allah's Creations

You gave me light, a reflection of your own
And I grew a heart around it,
Developed a cage
And encompassing sinews.
I put on clothes
And retreated into a house of bricks and stones.

How many layers, how many walls have I built around my reality?
Too many - to even perceive that which is real.

Veils upon veils, till the light is dimmed so much that I have forgotten it's there.

Seeing only the illusions of my coverings,
I have lost myself in this maya.
A quagmire of false aims.

Help me,
Free me,
To become a lighted lamp once again.
