MAKING WUDU AFTER TRYING TO END YOUR LIFE

By Elizabeth Shanaz
How silly to wash the very feet
that loathed another step
But Allah says walk to me
and I will run to you
I don’t know of a return route from
the well of hopelessness
Allah says I am still a believer
Water pebbles down the forearm
like falling dates
Maryam begged to end her life, too
Don’t cry so hard, you just washed
out all that snot
And Maryam is among those Allah loves the most
Watch the runoff circle the drain
Allah promises even this
I will forget, one day
I really did end that life.
A new one begins here
