What Still Remains

The morning after is quieter than the night before.
Nothing dramatic changes,
yet something within us has shifted.
We wake not lighter,
but more aware of what we choose to carry forward.


The poem follows

Morning does not erase the night.
It only teaches light
where to enter.

Some weight stays
not as burden,
but as reminder
that we survived yesterday
and woke up anyway.

The body remembers before the mind does.
A tired breath.
A slower step.
Hands that reach for familiarity
before ambition.

I move carefully now,
choosing what deserves my energy.
Not everything that asks for me
is owed an answer.

There is a quiet wisdom
in arranging the day gently
placing effort where it matters,
leaving space where it heals.

I am learning that living well
is less about carrying more,
and more about knowing
when to set things down.

Some mornings,
peace arrives unnoticed
in warm light across a table,
in stillness that doesnโ€™t demand proof,
in the simple act of beginning again.


Written in the pauses of everyday life,
where small comforts matter
and mindful choices still believe in kindness.

What do I get from writing poetry, quotes and Fundraising

๐ŸŒน Someone once asked me:โ€œWhat do you get out of writing poetry, quotes, and fundraising for charities?โ€The truth? I donโ€™t get much in the material sense.But I gain something far greater:

โœจ The joy of turning words into hope.

โœจ The chance to give voice to those who feel unseen.

โœจ The opportunity to let art serve a purpose bigger than myself.Thatโ€™s why I wrote If Rose Could Talkโ€”a poem reminding working professionals to pause, breathe, and remember their worth.

For me, poetry is not just about beauty, itโ€™s about impact.I donโ€™t just write for myselfโ€”I write so words can bloom into kindness. ๐ŸŒน

THE PATIENT BLOOM

๐ŸŒน “The Patient Bloom”

A rose does not rush the morning light,

nor chase the hurried hands of time.

It listens to whispers of sun and rain,

and gathers strength in silence, sublime.

Each petal holds a secret song,

a hymn of waiting, soft and true.

No haste can force its grace to rise,

for beauty blooms when it is due.

So let your heart, like roses be,

unfolding gently, day by day.

Trust the rhythm life bestows,

your perfect time will find its way.
