The 100th Name of God

The Qur’an lists 99 names for God. The final and last name will be revealed to each of us only when we draw our last breath.

I’ve awoken from dreams
to feel his breath
soft on my ear
the syllables indistinct
nudging me into insomnia

And in the wind
that batters against
my peace of mind
the words
are still nothing more than
a rebel wail

Sometimes in the sighs
of love
I’ve almost heard it
whispering
always whispering
I know you
you are mine
