- in the name of Allah -

a partial sum of time
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours,
sometimes words come quite easily forth, 
while at others, one can never tell for sure. 

Sometimes it drizzles, sometimes it storms, 
sometimes water cools into an icy form,
while thunder's left behind, a sound demure.

Sometimes it echoes, sometimes it shrouds,
sometimes ears become numb to the cloud,
while lightning flashes fire, a visage endowed. 

Sometimes it reflects, sometimes it gleans,
sometimes the pool expands to an ocean's scene,
while ripples resonate, an endless reverie.

Sometimes it waxes, sometimes it wanes,
sometimes its essence emerges into our plane,
while a soul catches drift, left never the same.
