a poem
In love with this poem…it has such a clear yet delicate wistfulness…ahhhh! Why is there not a huge major poetry subset of Substack? Maybe there is and we just need to find them!
Thank you.
I can't help but read this as a dialogue with Surah al-Asr – your stanzas being a response to verses 2 and 3.
There is so much enormity in swearing "by time"; it always stuns me.
Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you. I like that - a dialogue with the Surah.
Mashallah
