By Ibrahim Sulaiman Adewale
Let us gather
hands raised like hope
like breath from His hands
seventy years of whispered moments
we are a mosque of souls
each heart a minaret
calling!
yearning!!
praying!!!
to the divine within
our prayers melt
like sacred names on tongues
summers of faith
winters of patience
we are love’s reminder
God’s house houses our insides
beating! breathing!! belonging!!!
to this moment of collective spirit
Amen to gathering
Amen to growth
Amen to the path
that leads us home
