سنه - اولى
رحمك الله يا ابى واسكنك فسيح جناته. عن ابى هريره ان رسول الله قال: اذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله الا عن ثلاث: صدقه جاريه او علم ينتفع به او ولد صالح يدعو له. صدق رسول الله
يعلم الله انى افعل ما بوسعى كى اكون هذا الولد الصالح
اليوم هو تمام السنه الاولى على رحيلك . الموت حق والجنه حق والنار حق . لكنه الفراق اللعين . لقد اطمآننت الى الدنيا حتى جاء مرضك ورحيلك السريع . لم افكر لحظه انك ستموت قبلى . استغفر الله هو العالم باى ارض نحيا وبأى ارض نموت
كنت دائما اشعر انى ساموت قبلك ولذلك لم احمل هم ولا غم
وها هى سنه تمر على فراقك ولكنى لازلت اهرب من هذا الواقع .. اتفادى النظر الى صورتك فى مدخل حافظتى .. اتفادى ان اجلس وحيدا أو أتذكر .. اتفادى النوم حتى لا احلم .. اتفادى كل شئ يقربنى من واقع رحيلك . وكأنى لازلت احلم بيوم عودتك
لم اجن شيئا فى السنه المنصرمه سوى شعره بيضاء هلت بدون استآذان او ترحيب من سواء شعرى المفحك وكأنها تذكره لمن ينسى
وكـأنهـــــا كلمه الحق المنتصره بسلاح الواقع على خيال وطمأنينه الدنيا الكاذبه الذائله
الشعره البيضاء تذداد بياضا وسوف تدعوا شعيرات اخريات ليسكنوا شعرى الاسود
ربما ابكى بعد عام قادم . ربما انظر الى صورتك فى حافظتى بعد عام آخر
ربما افتح الصندوق الذى يحتوى على متعلقاتك الشخصيه بعد عام آخر
ربما احتاج الى اعوام .. ولكنى سانتظر الشعيرات البيضاء
