Skylight Musing

Khalid Mukhtar · October 22, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Allah for the love of the love You place
In the heart of a man doing all he can
To keep his wife and children well
Provided for within Your plan
For the lines on his face
The gray in his beard
The sleepless nights
And smiles through tears
For the love of that love
Forgive my sins

On Breaking A Clothes Hanger

Khalid Mukhtar · October 18, 2022 · Leave a Comment

If it’s one of those days
you reach for a clothes hanger
and it breaks as you fetch it
and you think to yourself:
“I didn’t do anything”

Banish it with a thought
heeding it as a sign
maybe it’s one of those days
when you break a thing 
though you don’t mean to

Stumbling

Khalid Mukhtar · October 1, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Look to the trembling baby bird
afraid though freshly fledged
that when the twig gives under it
relies on foot and wing and wit
to get back up again
