Pulsatilla

[Her] Pulse.
Atilla.
Like a Hun
Charges to fight
Last minute
She may change her mind
and throw herself to the wind - fervent in flight
Droop down to her ground
Lampshade - lights out,
Looking at layers you can't fathom her depths,
No one can pull this weed out of distress,
Pulsing on -
and on she pulses...
Snaps up like a reed,
Seething and mean,
Watch her swiftly go mental!
Plucking and snatching off petals
one by one-
until they're done and then-
her violet center will burst and scatter her curse
becoming her worst 
then crushed underfoot - swept into dirt
trampled by burdens
Open your mouth at this wilted wisp of a girl and
Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you say another word!
Does she need to scream it to be HEARD?
For this flower
is not just a flower
But life
pulsing with hurt.

Blessed is the dark.

Blessed is the dark

for without we wouldn't see the light

Or
A struggle for what's right

with no mistakes...then where's the fight?

And without a fight - how can we win?

Were the waters all shallow - how could we swim?

So swallow the ocean and all within.

Wallow in Purity - witness the Sin.

Wade in the Sour and taste all that is deep in

Sweet...

Sweet Submission.

Be Balanced in what IS your mission.

While your white can subtly shade into muted gray -

Let roar in those stories - the oppressed bruised purples in pain,

Notice the range - the horrifying. the beautiful. the strange. - so do not complain.

For what was generously given to the first one* was not one - but in two...

Fairness in pairs.

Do not despair.

Welcome.

All that is light

and All that is dark.
 






*Prophet Adam



Do men think that they will be left alone on [earth] saying “We believe” and that they will not be tested? Quran (29:2)



“No fatigue, nor disease, nor anxiety, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim (i.e. one who submits to God), even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah (God) expiates some of his sins for that” - Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

“A strong believer is better and dearer to God than a weak one, and both are good. Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking God for help and do not refrain from it. (If you are afflicted in any way), do not say: ‘If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such,’ but say only: ‘God so determined and did as He willed.’... - Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
