Tremble

I'm a man, not a brand Heart knows no bar code that can be scanned Revealing what can't be held up in the hand Bearer of the standard that you cram to understand Uncharted land telescopes can't discover Can't throw it at strippers to make 'em pretend to love you I sew the seed like fabric at the seams You can't sip it to lean, but you can give it to fiends The most taken-for-granted on the planet You can't Snapchat it or Instagram it It's from the unseen realm where the camera can't film But the coal gets scorched into diamonds in the kiln Created and evolved, the khaliq and the rabb The sun, moon and the stars, Alhamdulillah The biggest secret but you can't Wikileak it Cause an unbroken chain transmit it to the seekers Little mysteries bring the biggest victories I'ma click the dhikr beads 'til I'm rid of this disease We the breath of God that was left in charge They dread the second we remember what we are I tremble in the presence of it I tremble at the mention of it The infinite love that animates the finite The necessary where the possible derive light Uncreated majesty and mercy Irrestible end of every journey Allah --- Tremble - Brother Ali
