I really liked the beginning of this, yes we must rise above even when we feel we are drowning. Love lightens the spirit and one can float if necessary.
I had an unpleasant experience today. Made me sad. Amazingly, your poem is like a little healing song just for me. It’s not easy, but we all must rise and love is the answer to even the questions we don’t ask.
This is pure strength-infused love while in the eye of desperation. We always need a friend that brings this wonderful thought/feeling into us… especially on those days when our own song is too quiet to keep us going. β€οΈ
Real intensity sustained within such a tight structure – so impressive Sanaa and a real pleasure to read. Hope you sparkle through the rest of your summer… With Best Wishes Scott
There is a time in life when most people experience the feeling of drowning, being shallowed up in the enormity of it… And you know that it is only love that can save us…bkm
