in that moment

it was in that moment
the moment of noticing
his broad shoulders
the drape of her scarf
his way with words
her energy
the passion with which he spoke
the hayaa with which she smiled
his recitation of the qu’ran
the mystery of her looks
that the heart beat faster
the moment that one realized
the true meaning and miracle of
and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts)*
 
*(Al-Qu’ran, 30:21)
