sometimes;
when things turn out
from being soft to hard.
they rolled up from being
a simple particles to rock
and life seems unfair from all ends.

the aroma of happiness
that emerges from what you love doing
turns to the smoke that choke your nose
and blocks fresh air from kissing your lungs.

pause!
yes! pause!
take a vacation from that life
you're rolling in
jump the fence and sit on the other side.
rest for a while and come back.
to tackle things with high spirit.

as she prepares to take her leave,
look into yourself if her presence
has manifested some impacts in your being.

to lighten up the path to righteousness.

whatever you have
was given to you by Allah.
