The Veils and Repentance
Tawba sacred return to the One
In the quiet of dawn, where whispers meet light,
A heart stirs from slumber, drawn to the height.
With every breath, a yearning unfolds,
To dance in the presence of love untold.
In the vastness of night, stars scatter like dreams,
Each one a reflection of sacred moonbeams.
With palms open wide, I seek the embrace,
Of boundless compassion, of infinite grace.
A river of mercy flows through the soul,
Washing away shadows, making the spirit whole.
In the silence, a promise, a soft, gentle call,
To rise, to surrender, to give it my all.
In the garden of faith, blossoms of hope,
With petals of patience, I learn how to cope.
Every tear is a prayer, every joy a song,
In the rhythm of devotion, I finally belong.
Through valleys of doubt, I wander and roam,
But in the heart’s echo, I find my true home.
The light of His love, a beacon so bright,
Guiding my footsteps through day and through night.
In each moment, a story, woven in time,
A tapestry rich, with the sacred and sublime.
Oh, Tawba, sweet turning, a return to the One,
In the dance of existence, we are never undone.
With each heartbeat, a testament flows,
In the depths of the soul, where true love grows.
In the stillness, I hear it, a whisper so clear,
“Come, dear beloved, for I am right here.”
