Like my Sunni ancestors
Inspired by the blood and traditions of the Prophet
I am on a journey
With others walking along side
Some taking the help of imams and ayatollahs
Other the law of Moses or the love of Jesus
Yonder
I see those who find the divine in the Ganga
Or on top of the Himalayas
They find the divine in the noble doings of Lord Ram
Yet others find other paths
I wish them all Godspeed
For all of them are part of the “tribes and nations”
That the Quran tells me I must love
So that I can love the divine
