Death Of self



There she lay
All in white
And turned on her side
Her hair, black ,wavy, flowing
In stillness and silence.
Her presence in her stillness
Emanated her glow.
left behind, saddened.
A death of self, a death of desires.
There he lay beside her
Clutching her body, lifeless
he sensed her withdrawal from the world
he held her to relieve her pain, it seems
Although he was in pain.
He clasped his arms around her lifeless body
He kept his self close to her
as if to merge.... a death of temptations
A rise in faith.
He was her rock and he was the faith , come to rescue.
The death of nafs, of desires.
Her freedom to exist.
Above , with eyes aflame
red and eerie,
A vision of past desires.
Defeated.
There they waited and tasted
Love and faith, winners of the struggle.
Survivors of the war on self.
