Guide Me

By Reem Khalili

Teach my patience how to be patient..
Teach my feet how to stand still..
For they are lost..
Gazing at the faces..
Searching all the places..

Teach my eyes how to be blind..
Teach my heart how to see..
For the mind is lost..
Thinking of the wrongs and rights..
Expressing its thoughts through what it writes..

Teach my words how to be deep..
For they become letters in your presence..

Teach my soul how to be calm..
For the words have taken it so far.
