The Book of the Heart

It is written here and there

In dna and in the air

What is recited is from iqra

What is inscribed, upon akasha

My heart is a qibla

The stylus my ka

Dancing within the blood

Drinking of that water

Splashing it out as wine

The law and the spirit

Mirroring my ka'ba

And they wonder

Intrigued as to how a book can be a book without paper

Kitab ... AL KITAB

When stone is exchanged for flesh

Love is all that's left

It's will and testament

The name Iqra comes from an Islamic word that refers to the process of reading, hence its meaning of 'to read. '

Akasha is a term for either space or æther in traditional Indian cosmology, depending on the religion.

Well you would have difficulty to find a better pupil than me, and think most won't bother ;))

Everyone is busy in their own little world, honestly so not many readers have enough patience, unfortunately. I was a teacher before and I like to make things clear and easy to understand - this shows how bad a teacher I was then :)
