Found It

I was looking for comfort

In a dry harsh environment

I was looking for peace

Among the savages of war

I was looking for truth

From the tongues that lie

Until one day

I picked up a book

Forgotten, dusty

In reading this book I found the truth

I found peace

I found comfort

The bone desert was now teaming with springs

Lush gardens, tropical fruit

Riches beyond riches

Each word brought me new life

New revelation

The name of this book is called the Qur’an
