Shoes Stand

Shoes Stand, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

he looked at me
quizzically
asked me
for my shoes
at haji malang
in sufi land
I told him
I was a barefeet beggar
with a beggars
bowl in my hand
searching for happiness
peace the sufis last stand
muslims dont kill muslims here
a world of piety that
on your soul expands
no suicide bombers
no hate no bigotry
a world that rumi
planned a poet
planting seeds
of words
in moving sand
she dropped
a piece of sweet
which fell of
the beggars bowl
from my useless hand
