The term Barzakh (بَرْزَخ) in Arabic literally means a barrier or partition that separates two things. In the Qur’an, barzakh is used in a general sense for any barrier – for example, a barrier between two bodies of water. When talking about life after death, Barzakh refers to the period after a person’s death and before their resurrection.
Every grave is a room Its corners filled with days of memories passed, past A clutter of kitsch and curio aplenty Echoes of journeys taken and favors sought Lights on... flick the lights off The inhabitants yearn for nothing here Windowless, no peering out The occupants have no more desires in this place Every grave is a room Filled with flowers, weeds and worms Tear-filled nights and beautiful mornings Thoroughly beloved Are echoes here of another place Your grave is your room With laundry piled high and pairs of shoes left askew Ties tied crooked and dress hems, dropped It is a state that will never change No it never improves Time takes all things away Sold sight unseen, it is as is it In the blink of an eye, a twinkle perhaps So make your bed - CocoaTea Poetry🌱
