The Entrance of God
by Sana Shariq Warsi

And so silently he entered
Into the unconscious of my mind
And hid in there 
Like a captivating thief
Counting hours, minutes and seconds
When I would fall down
And grieve,


I fell
He came,


He held me up
And we walked,
I asked him who he was
But he laughing said my conscience
I wondered what he meant,


Night passed away
A stealthy streak of dark,
But I could not part from him,
Did not wish to leave 
Would not leave behind sanity,


Morning, sunshine lay ahead
A voyage, a dream beckoned,
But I could not leave
Could not find my feet,


So I asked him to be my friend
What more could one ask in life,
But he smiled and said,
"I am in your eyes,
Your heart and soul:
Your pain is my grief,
Your love my peace,"


I fell once again
I fell down in pain,
Because he was always with me
Had always been
And would forever be,
How sightless with a sight I had been,


We parted:
He within my heart
I away to the morning chores,
Make coffee, shower and change
And leave for work from home.
