Somehow
Stuck preaching from a throne of steel and
Spokes and wheels
Bound to machinery and cogs and breathwork apparatuses to assist in feeling chemicals fill your lungs You
showed me how to Walk
silent and
Listen
To the Woods
Trees
Two- and four-legged beasts of earth and Sky and
I
am made aware
In context of discrepancy and disconnect connect ed
How painfully
Truthfully and all-encompassing in harsh unforgiving reality
I
am
Dirt, and, soil, and peace, and, turmoil
A realisation of a connection provided to me by my mother, bound to a wheelchair

How often do we drift and fall into a story of the mind?
A memory from the past
A fear or projection in the future
Or a story on repeat from an event we had this morning
Where are you now?
To be fully aware means we must open our hearts
and invite every experience in
Only then can our minds be free
It's not easy to open our hearts, allow vulnerability,
and be present in this moment.
It takes courage to trust we can live in this space.

Be careful
of looking forward
to something
yet to happen
tomorrow,
later -
that you lose sight
of everything
happening
today,
now.

The Door to My Heart, was left open.
To a Woman, I had given the Key.
She never found, what She was looking for
and soon returned it, back to Me.
IĀ held back Memories of Her.
The moment She decided to Part
and nestled them, Safe and Secretly.
In the corner of My Heart.
I drew Her Picture in My Mind.
A Picture which I could never Erase
and painted the Picture, in My Heart
with Colours no one could Replace.
Each Night, I played the Moon to Her
and was building Her, a Mansion on Mars.
I kept building My Castles in the air,
While She chased all the Stars.

you look at what you look at
i look at the stars
both essential minds of people
we are

a song of joy or sadness
traveling in time
there is a moment of dying
we are

hold the moment
make things happen
draw it slow and slower
make it repeat
give this a breath, and so
live in now, live in this moment.


dear, time is elusive wanderer
and often a deciever,
dont be sure to let it elaps
and it's tragic too, you cant embrace it for forever

I do miss the late-night phone call,
let the night drive us to the stars,
Woke up with morning light of sun rise
all those laughs and giggles,
Going back home with a smile,
Sometimes I don't want to say goodbye.
As every moment I treasure the most,
Remain vividly in my memories,
Slowly, my heart dies,
Let myself soak in feeling blue,
The bottomless abyss swallow me whole,
This beautiful world I used to see
It doesnt seems it used to be,
Shofi Ahmed Feb 2023
The moon amidst
the celebrations of stars
still in its proverbial stance
only the eye no fingers!

If there ever a moment of flower
let it be today the rose
in the tips of the fingers!

Are you someones moment in time?

Or their

Eternity?
Be both

Glittering
Fractured
Fractals

Shimmering in all
The wrong
Places.

Time.
Time is non-existent
How I wish it would

Rip me from this moment
This agonizing
Tormenting moment.

Then it's over
As quickly as I could blink
Gone.

Nothing left but this
Lifeless heart
I once called Home.

It's only in that moment
Can I see you
Clearly.

Continued visitations
Continually mar
This heavy heart.

Yet

Every whisper, utterance,
Intrusion
Brings me here.

As if summoned
Just to endure
Pain.

Tears welling
Through already puffy eyes
I cast another look.

Through the cascading
Fragments
Of this broken reality

Only to peer at a face of a stranger
Distorted by resentment, anguish
Heartache.

Contained no longer
Time crashes like a wave
Leaving me alone.

Glittering
Fractured
Fractals

Shimmering pieces
That once contained a dream
Scattered at my feet
