Be

Khalid Mukhtar · February 28, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Here’s a Friday morning song

If you’re bored, find a tree
Watch it closely, learn to be
Still with quiet dignity

That’s enough now, move along

Gold and Sand

Khalid Mukhtar · February 26, 2020 · Leave a Comment

How the sands give way
When the gold holds sway
Over hearts afire
With the love of winning

Was Qāroon’s end, and
Suraqa’s beginning

Sadly

Khalid Mukhtar · February 23, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Why so sad
Don’t you know grief’s
Meant to be
Like falling leaf

Let it fall
Though you’d do well
To remember
Its sweet smell

Journey – Part 2

Khalid Mukhtar · February 19, 2020 · Leave a Comment

‪If the destination is beautiful‬
‪The journey will be beautiful‬ ‬
‪The trick is to knowing‬ ‬
‪Exactly where you’re going‬

Nonsense

Khalid Mukhtar · February 16, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Let Your love fill my senses
Till my sense is intact
As my tact mends the fences
Offenses had cracked

Obsess

Khalid Mukhtar · February 15, 2020 · Leave a Comment

The effort’s in your hands
The outcome’s not
The first’s like water
The second’s snot

And out it comes

Burnout

Khalid Mukhtar · February 13, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Slow down
You’re going too slow

Distracted

Khalid Mukhtar · February 10, 2020 · Leave a Comment

It’s in your way
Or on your way
Won’t matter once
You’ve gone your way

Unless of course
It is the way

Stand Up

Khalid Mukhtar · February 7, 2020 · Leave a Comment

The stronger the spine
The easier to turn the pages
And the better they align

Knowing

Khalid Mukhtar · February 6, 2020 · Leave a Comment

You’ve got to have the heart
That knows to wield a hand
That knows to grasp a staff
That knows to firm the sand
Before the sea may part

Not mind over matter
But knowledge over mind
And manners over art
