Confirmation

by Nia Malika Dixon, from “A Notebook for Heartbreak”

My fragile heart is in God’s Hands.

Never let me go

even when I’m

at the bottom

again.

Maybe a different one

swallowed up by the depths.

And, the waves.

And I see the dark, dirty

Turquoise and Indigo

Waters

Enveloping me.

Remind me that YOU pump

through my veins.

My blood runs in rivers and

tributaries, feeding me YOUR light.

Glowing in my arteries.

Pulsing my aorta.

Nur that glimmers

Glints

Sparks

Shines

Radiates

Love,

that pulls me up and

guides me through

my darkness

every

single

time.

Never let me go.

Never let my light go out.

Keep me forever in your hands

and hold me forever close.

Because YOU LOVE ME.

I AM ME because

YOU LOVE ME.

Al-Wadud.

My Lord.

My GOD.

Never

Let

Me

Go.

 

*What To Do Haiku

Stillness, I am not.
Inside motor running fast.
I hum and create.

 

*Love

I have more than I
thought possible to receive.
God LOVES me, I know.

 

*Understanding

I have a talent
for feeling what you feel and,
you’ll know I get you.

 

*Poem for the Rain

Gray clouds hang thick and heavy
Over my head, and drip
Thoughts of warm tea and soft blankets
Into my mind as I
Look out the window
And breathe in deep, long
Gulps of peppermint
Or apple cinnamon,
And thank God for my
Peaceful moments.
