Hajj

By Kahli Davis

The beautiful people

The beautiful souls

Lots of noises

But not a word

 

Not a word but a sound of peace

A sound of happiness

All of the people come together as one

Praying and enjoying this amazing moment

 

Come to be at Hajj

To walk to run

To pray to come together as one

 

We are all equal in this astounding moment

Hajj I wonder what it would be like

Hajj so close I can almost feel the people

So many people from so many places

 

Hajj yet so far I wish I could touch them all

Although Hajj is but a dream to some people

A dream they wish to become real

A dream they wish one day will be reality
