My poetic self reacted to this painting by Madani Shereef.

the emptiness
from which I fell
distorts the fullness
I strive towards
mystic secrets
only I can tell
reach and flower
to where I am:
the naked truth
of my beginnings
the beautiful promise
of my being
my spirit will never forget
the longings of my soul
yet I stand proud
in this season of flowering
today is but a glimpse
of tomorrow’s inspiration
