Kaaba

Ancient Building

Of Abraham

Cube

Enfolded in black

Open to the heavens

Not worshiped

Direction of unity

Sacred space

Timeless

Not empty

Holding energy

Thoughts, prayers

Sins

Faithful of the nations

Come to fill the space

Undulating circular patterns

Equalized in white cloth

Androgynous

Clean of heart

Refreshed

Zamzam healed

Journey of a lifetime

Soon fulfilled

Spiritual fulfillment

Eternally full

Sacred space of the soul

Endless

Sacred marble floors

Paving the way

Preparing

Cleansing

Nations souls

To see the face of God.
