Maghrib Time.
I sit here on the soft prayer mat. A mysterious hush... ...as the sunset prayers are offered to the Greatest. A melodious ringing through the dusky air. Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar! The familiar heavens Turned whimsical indigo from a strong blue. As if Allah switched it from paint to chalk. A gentle flutter of birds trailing across the canvas. Sharp twittering, and then- Nothing. Nothing but stillness. Mystery. Peace.
