Anything to not be cursed
She's ready to please

Earth (Peace be upon her)
Canada's her crown
Adorned with thousands of lakes
Inlaid with seasons
Balance
Saw the bad in Yin
Life is best lived in Lagom
Saw the good in Yang
The Truth
Liars utter truths
Question not who's right, but what
The righteous have lied
Islam
Pulled by worldly wants
I found grounding in Islam
Pushed by desires
Mending smile (MChantaleC)
Thread of light at dawn
Stiching together lifes quilt
Her smile's beaming warmth
Measuring Sincerity
Sacrifice will hurt
Sincerity's measurement
Good acts out weigh bad
Paradox
Life's a paradox
We live in inertia
Choose prayer to change
Compass
Man is no compass
Misguided by some degree
Watch where you're going
Pendulum
Emotions move us
It's like a clocks pendulum
Life gets me ticking

Reason
Done good for the world
No benefit for your soul
Swaying intentions
My love
In search of greatness
I passed by many great things
Love you're the greatest
My sheikh
Oh sheikh you're a book
Knowledge paves paths to good deeds
A book on the shelf
Learning to walk
I lost my balance
How else can I move forward
Steps to gain knowledge
Top of the world
Climbing to the top
Focus on how close you are
Forget the long drop
Mother
She's beauty complete
Strong like the current in time
She's maternal love

Hardship
I bathe in hardship
It cleanses me of my sins
The tarnished gets shone
The Artist and the Canvas
Face to face they stand
Projecting one another
Beauty from beauty
NbF
It takes just one look,
Into deep oceans you'll fall,
The darkness your grave.
Nature
Soft as a whisper
It speaks of Master and slave
Cool and comforting
The Veil (The Hijab)
Earth hides her treasures
Anything of value's veiled
Oysters conceal pearls

On Haiku
Haiku speak volumes
Three lines of five seven five
Perfect like seasons
