Growth

There were seasons
I found no spring
within

my soul

for I thought,
there is nothing
in the dark that

grows

but later I understood
that it was the dirt
i had to go

through

so that I may know
what it means to be
cleansed by

You.

اللَّـهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ۖ

“Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light.” (Qur’an: 2:257)
