Mystic Anxiety
Mystic Anxiety is a spiritual poem of faith and anxiety, reflecting on Gaza, Psalm 23, mortality, human weakness, and hope of meeting loved ones beyond this life.
So many lords in the House of Lords,
But the Good Lord is my shepherd
And I lack nothing.
After watching atrocities in قِطَاعُ غَزَّةَ
I rest my head and when I awake
Drifting through the valley’s stench
I smell sweet scents of flowers,
Not yet burnt by corruption’s fire.
There’s only one thing I desire –
That you do not withdraw
Your shield and rampart
As I pass by my enemies smiling
On my way to the destined place
Where I expect to meet you,
My loved ones and others
And take it from there again.
I’m only human. Amen.
