Life was meant to be a symphony

We once likened life to a journey, a pilgrimage with a solemn destination, an end goal that we strived to reach, be it success or heaven in the afterlife. We fixated on the pursuit of that final destination, missing the essence of the entire passage. Yet, all along, life was meant to be a symphony, a dance to the music that played around us. Each moment was a note in the grand composition of existence, and we were meant to sing and dance to its rhythm. We were meant to embrace the melody of laughter, to twirl in the joy … Continue reading Life was meant to be a symphony

I am a woman who resides in every line I write …

If the words are memories of love, then I write to awaken the love within me. Poetry is the tender embrace on the other side, a kindness preserved in the eyes of a lover.

I am a woman who resides in every line I write, even if they never find me, they reveal the essence of my being through each word. Even if I cannot be fully unveiled in each verse, I exist in a kingdom … Continue reading I am a woman who resides in every line I write …

Vulnerability

It is a terrifying notion, to bare your soul to another, to stand before them in all your vulnerability. To shed the layers of protection and reveal the marks that tell the stories of your life. The stretch marks, birth marks, and scars that map out the journey of your existence. Each one a testament to the battles you’ve fought, the pains you’ve endured, and the triumphs you’ve celebrated. In that moment of exposure, you will feel the heat of a thousand suns, your cheeks flushed with a kaleidoscope of emotions. You will stand before them, a rose shedding its … Continue reading Vulnerability

Sadness

When sadness comes to visit me, I welcome it with open arms, acknowledging its presence with a gentle “I see you.” I sit with it, allowing its weight to settle upon my shoulders, feeling its touch upon my soul.

I listen to its story, let its tears flow, and allow its echoes to reverberate within me. And as I sit in its company, I … Continue reading Sadness

Worried eyes …

I look with worried eyes at the world around me, where social vines twist and tangle, where flashing lights blind us to the lack of rights. Human compassion seems to be in short supply, lost in the chaos and noise of hate and division. Hate feeds off hate, a vicious cycle that threatens to consume us all. But if hate can thrive, then love should come just as easily, if only we let it. Windows bashed in, faces sprayed with mace, lives choked out of existence, all in the name of eliminating race. The lines between classes have blurred, and … Continue reading Worried eyes …

Reveries …

I went through life stumbling in my daydreams, lost in the slow dance of time, craving simplicity, and shunning the weight of the world. I stumbled through each day, intoxicated by weariness and the need for rest. I let weariness become my companion, intertwining it with the fabric of my existence, blurring the lines between everyday life and despair. I found myself suffocating in the emptiness of voids, surrounded by people and things that only added to the weight on my shoulders. In the midst of my sadness, I sought solace in brief moments of sleep, repeating the same chapters … Continue reading Reveries …
