The Winds are Heavy

"Rajab is like the wind; Sha'ban is like the water-laden clouds; and Ramadan is like the rain"

In the late afternoon sun,

the leaves speckled yellow green

on trees longing for more light to come

Blows a heavy wind, a rippling stream

of prayers like pollen scattered to the sky

seeking a soil in which to flower

A portent of clouds and rain coming nigh

Blows a heavy wind, of untold power
