Haiku

old muslim
on the bus -
call to prayer

Note: This haiku was inspired by an old muslim listening to the adhan (call to prayer) on his phone while boarding the bus. The bus immediately fell silent; the muezzin's resonant voice calling all of us to prayer (praise/gratitude/devotion) regardless of our beliefs or spiritual affinities.
