The Hijab Up Close

The Hijab Up Close, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

a friendly
peaceful garb
of a muslim woman's
modesty
far too many foes
it was her path
her tradition
she chose
the hijab
her second skin
as it grows
poetically
a thought
it flows
adding
a dimension
to her humility
it shows
only the eyes
her eyebrows
the windows
of her soul
up close
the hijab an
evergreen
black rose
