PRAISING ALLAH

I know you are there 

Little bird, 

Covered by rich green, talking to the tree 

Yes, a talking tree! 

I know you are hiding 

Little ant, 

Under the solid brown, listening to the song 

Yes, the singing earth! 

I know you are relaxing 

Tiny drop of rain, 

Inside the airy white, hearing the laugh 

Yes, a laughing cloud! 

I know you are dancing 

Little bee, 

Beside fresh colors, joining a prayer 

Yes, a praying flower! 

I know you are breathing 

Little fish, 

Deep in the wide blue, amazed by stories 

Yes, the Historian Ocean! 

I am sitting in my room 

Seeing you all in the heart of my eye 

Praising the work of God 

Wishing to add more before I die 

Talking tree 

Singing earth 

Laughing cloud 

Praying flower and 

Historian Ocean 

Let me join you, and be sublime 

Praising Allah till the end of our time!
