At Wolves' Feet

The call is distant in the dark
Heeded by the sheep grazing at the wolves' feet
To venture to the call is to face bite and bark
Reflection is to hear your own heart beat
What secrets does man discover in the darkness of his chest?
Crashing howl of the wolf force feeds him the lie
Did man think he would utter belief without being put to test?
So which of the commands of your Lord is it that ye defy?

To live on lands bereft of spirit and love
Is to quench your thirst with thorns and stones
Whilst the cool streams flows, foretold from the paradise above
Where the pack feasts in the distance on despair and bones
Realization is to hear your soul speak
Oh believer! Raise your hands to the sky and let the wind taste your tears
'I seek refuge in He who owns the heavenly peaks,
My Lord, make me a traveller to escape these fears!'

Would you mind if I copy that and hang it above my bed? Powerful words and there are more in this poem. Whaddaya know, we have a real poet here. That's wonderful!
