Meaning

I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
Hoping time is well spent and
My message dispersed

I would like to start this
by defining myself
I am one among many
like a book on a shelf

There is nothing special
about me in my time
except that perhaps
I do well when I rhyme

With you now I take
this journey, and pray
Let us fly on the wings
Of meaning today

If I was to tell you
that I am a Jew
How would you know
If I'm talking of you

Or if I was to tell you
A Christian I am
How would you know
Who I call 'The Lamb'

But I am a Muslim
believing in all
My belief isn't limited
My heart isn't small

So I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed

What does it mean
When I say this to you
When I say I am Muslim
In my poetic debut

What does it mean
in a spiritual sense-
the grass is greener
if you get rid of the fence!

What does it mean
when I seek to employ
the use of my words
for all to enjoy

So I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed

When I say you're my brother
And say it I do
I mean you are family
I mean it with truth

When I say you are family
And say it I will
The purpose of life
It helps me fulfill

When I say its my purpose
Its my purpose to serve
It brings me closer to God
And to Heaven deserve

So I pick up my pen
And divulge in verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed

As I close I must say
That these are just words
A spiritual rendering
a flight of the birds

As I close I must say
It's been a joy to have been
surrounded by artists
painting the scene

As I close I must say
its been an honor tonight
to explore what we share
of our lyrical plight

So I put down my pen
And ponder of verse;
My time well spent and
My message dispersed
