just this

when i think of sleep
i remember death...

a beat away it is
when, i can never say.

maybe 20 years down the road
or tomorrow.
'ahh, but she's so young' they'll say i bet.

i wonder sometimes
about old age... about when
i'll be walking slow, nodding a lot
i wonder what sleep will remind me then.

Asalamu Alaikum, I too wish your family and you are in the best state of health and iman. I love this poem, it makes me want to pray right now. When I am old, I will pray. I hope I can live to that age, where I realize praying is still a blessing for my age.

MashAllah..keep writing!!
