poem: Maha...

(This name poem was inspired by a friend.)

The Creator
is the greatest make-up artist I know.
He fashioned your third eye
with Egyptian kohl.

Dark kohl
against
bright eyes
smiling eyes
truthful eyes
loving eyes

Never question why He created Darkness,
why He created those days
when your soul cowers
under the weight of the world,
those days when
the only thing sustaining you
is hope...

For in the spiritual laboratory,
when light is compared
with light,
all you see is light

but when light is compared
with darkness,
that’s when you see
its TRUE brightness.

Dark kohl
against
bright eyes
smiling eyes
truthful eyes
loving eyes

There is no need to say
what your name means…


Your eyes say it all.
