Dearest Karima, this poem speaks of love, loss, and our capacity for human connection and reminiscence. I loved it so. Thinking about you, and sending you hugs, love, and peace, my dearest friend. ❤️🦋🙏🥰🌺
Whenever someone writes about his or her mom, I get sentimental, and you write from the heart, it has a deeper impact. The way you have written on her winter coat is mesmerising. I can feel your love and emotion here. Very well written, Karima. Hope you are well now. Stay blessed 😊💐💖
Oh Kaushal, thank you! When i would do this in a public reading..(to the music Vivaldi: Sposa Disprezzata) I could not keep from tearing up.Thank you so much for feeling this emotions.. I am very busy preparing this event…which is good for me I wonder after, how I will feel. I am stick a bit unbelieving and in shock to be honest.. Thank you for asking me. You are a sensitive soul too 🌹🙏❤️
I’m with you, my thoughts are with you, Karima in this hour of grief. Take your own time. Keep yourself busy in creativity, that I believe you do. I’m sure you’ll be shining more now in days to come. God bless you 🙏💐💖
I just read your poem and came over to your site. This piece was truly amazing and beautiful. I loved how beautifully you touched upon the transcience of materialistic things in our life. So beautifully expressed❤
Thank you so much Ishita for your beautiful comment and for visiting my blog. Yes, this very personal poem, touches on the transience of life as you point out. I was very upset one year to find my mother’s coat fallen on the floor..then I realized. it was no longer hers or even mine… It was an important lesson to learn. Thank you again for stopping by🙏
Sometimes small things in life teach us greater lessons.
My pleasure dear, the poem was splendid❤
Wow excellent. Congratulations Karima! 🙂
Well, that was powerful! The item means so much more than the item. Incredible writing!

Listening. It’s nice. The background is great. Everything works well. Opera singing! Such a deep poem! Your readings are fantastic! I love this ending stanza, with the change of seasons and the coat. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ben for listening.. this poem always holds an emotional charge for me .. it was s big Life lesson to me, realizing this coat was no longer my mother’s nor was it even mine..instead of feeling upset seeing it on the floor, i felt humbled to see how Life works. Thank you my friend for feeling this one
You’re welcome. It’s really fantastically done. I can see how “charged” that could be. Humbled, yeah … I see what you mean. The importance of life but also the feeling of the full nature. You’re welcome. I love this. One of my favorites of yours because of much depth is in it!
This is such a beautiful poem, Karima, and such a wonderful tribute to your mother!
Wow you discovered this one:) As you can imagine, it is very close to my heart.. Thank you so much for your feedback Dawn 🙏
