Poetry: SOOTHER By: Fareedah Abdulkarim

In tears that flow unconsciously,you calm,
In emotions that get the best of my humanity,you pacify,

In between the gruff outpour of my anger,you quell,
In my edgy attitude towards life and everyone's expectations, you allay,

My Soother,My Calmer,My Pacifier,
My Allayer,My Queller,My Shadow,

Come forth, with thy Angelic touch,
For my lone heart is heavy and weepy,

Come forth, like the Errand-ghost sent,
For I might withdraw from this malevolent globe,

And go far,far away into the heavenly dome of Paradise,
For peace must I find,
And eternal bliss must I seek,

Reach out for me, MY SOOTHER.

On a sunshiny noontide in July,
2018.
