Irving Karchmar Poem

Hello and Happy Thursday!


Slightly different today! Instead of a quote, here is a beautiful poem written by Irving Karchmar:







Answered Prayers
The knowledge of You
Comes swift as light
To sit within the circle
Of zekr and gratitude
A presence felt in darkness
The soul’s delight

The knowledge of You
My bones remember
My blood, nerves, sinews
And my eyes, this poet’s sight
That writes only You, who
Are pen and ink and paper

You are love and turmoil
Hope and answered prayers
Fathomless as oceans
Encompassing as night
My heart’s rest as winter comes
And all the leaves take flight.






There's a new interview coming up on Saturday so be sure to check back!
