I Am Kashmir






I Am Kashmir 

Dedicated to Shaheed Tahir from Baramulla



a
rat
a
tat
tat

ya hear that?

another round
locked, and loaded

where boys,
are forced to be
men

and women
are raped

and children,
throw
stones

until a bullet hits the skin
piercing within
the gentle flesh that God made

My skin is worn
my heart,
heavy
and my mind,
must constantly evade
the darkness

Yet I am light
and my spirit

it IS strong

it flies with the midnight moon
chasing stars
supernovas
faster than the speed of light
stronger than the wind
more powerful than the sun herself
shining

celestial majestic divinity . . .

Aged.

I am

Kashmir.

Quietly, dying


"The world is a prison for the believer .  .  . " - pbuh


There are times
i awake
and the day
she greets me
naked
pure


In all her wondrous glory

And i am grateful
for solitary breath
for limbs
that work perfectly
for the sun
when she shines
rain as it falls
and for birds, 


endlessly trilling
outside my window


And there are times
when i simply wish
to close my eyes
to sleep eternal


A most peaceful rest,
one of absolute divinity
where i need not think,
eat, nor breathe


An existence
where i am truly one
with all of creation


Where I am more than energy
more than the speed of light
stronger than the sun
wind
moon
and the stars


as they shine their weary smiles
upon me now.


Gently.


I wish to be the Great Frontier
its grasslands plenty
horses, wild, free
trees, untouched by man


My spirit,
the heartbeat
of wild buffalo


This place exists
in my heart
and I am
a sentient being


Human. 

Quietly,

dying.
