What the Muezzin Says

A poem

Image on Wallpaperflare.com

Rush to prayer
Rush to success

I heard the
muezzin say through
the mosque’s speakers,

so I get up from
my desk
and I hasten…
With You in mind
I cleanse my skin
And I abandon the texts
coming in

Despite a busy mind,
I stand facing one direction,
Content with my duty as
a Muslim

To You I surrender my worries
To You is all praise

This.
This.
My soul says.
