Divine Love Poem by Houda Boukassoula

Darkness around me was prevailing
In my selfishness I was sinking
My soul was almost drowning
I saw a light glistening
As a drop of morning dew
Alleviating my pains that grew
Inside me as an ax that violently hew
Amidst the wreckage of my soul
Something brought salvation into view
When I first started knowing you
Divine love was slowly spreading
Along my heart and body too
Giving me wings with which I flew
In your space and breathed pure air anew.
