The Master of Silence and Verse
In memorium of Sidi Daniel Abdal Hayy Moore April 19, 2016 – a day after he reunited with The One
His bowed kufiyyah-covered head led us
each verse, letter enunciated with
mahabbah, reverence, khushu ‘, taqwa,
beloved to his tongue, to his very being
transporting the welcoming home
into a prayer niche filled with anwar
His Malika the queen of his heart,
queen of his soul joining in the binding prayer
quiet utterances, tasabeeh and salawat
concluding the prayer to The One
The slave of the Ever-Living, Abdal Hayy
cocooned in Divine Love
as he stood in his creative space filled
with his beloved work, art, music, books
adorned with images of spirits of light
sharing tales brimming with wisdom
smiling eyes alight with blessed, overflowing joy
tapping out music of words and songs
His maqam, his station
rising and ever clear to those blessed
to be in his sphere
his songs, words, silences
serving His Mahboub
His niyyat, intentions constantly set
infusing and permeating his inner horizon
reflecting the seeker’s journey
a seeker crossing lands afar and near
a seeker whose essence resides in sacred sites
a seeker soaring in the heavens of the unseen
a seeker delving the depths of asrar, mysteries
joining the Caravan of the Blessed.
Abdal Hayy immersed in the Light of the Ever-Living
Set free,
free,
free
Ecstatic eyes, euphoric spirit
forever encased in the arms
of
The Merciful, Ever-Living One.
