In the darkness of the night, when the rest of the world stands still

deep in sleep

I put my forehead to the ground, eager to spend a moment with my Beloved

Not a bird chirps, nor can you hear the wind, silence takes over the universe

The perfect time for a conversation with my Beloved

It is time

I spill my soul to my Lord, the Most High,

The All-Hearing, The All-Knowing

I am a child, a servant of the Most Powerful,

Who else can bring comfort to my heart except my Master?

“Hear me, Oh Great One!” I call to Him

And slowly as the clock ticks and time passes by,

Peace and tranquility blanket over my heart, removing sorrows and worries

He has promised me He will help me…

Dawn breaks and the sun begins to rise, a new day, a blessing of my Protector

Ask me, ask me how long was my forehead to the ground

How long did I converse with my Beloved

And hear me say,

‘it was just a moment with my Beloved, nothing more, just a moment
When you are engrossed in doing something you love, hours pass you by, and to you it’ll only seem to be a moment.
