The intensity of revelation

Trying to put Qur'an into perspective in the days leading up to Ramadhan
and thought I'd share my thoughts...

On occasion,
so much intensity would be generated
with the descent of revelation upon God's Messenger
that the animal he was riding on
would sit down,
wilting under the weight.

At other times,
though it would be winter
and the weather chilly,
he would perspire;
beads of sweat dropping from his blessed forehead
like rolling pearls.

... SallAllhu 3alayhi wa sallam.
