How to ease souls in troubled times? My stubborn belief is that art is the best form of diplomacy and finer than politics.

Below, is a contribution of mine featured in a forthcoming book of art-activism (artivism) that seeks to dispel Islamophobia through poetry 🙏🏼✨

11th Hour Plea

One foot here, one foot there
how much longer, weary pilgrim,
lingering at the threshold?

One step forward, two steps back
-still lusting after this world-
Have you forgotten your promises?

To die to your self, to transmute
the mud to gold, to surrender
distractions and consent to be born?

—Yahia Lababidi

Muslim Voices in Contemporary Poetry
