Oh wow, what a beautiful poem…”She’s definitely lost in the joy…by lost, I mean she’s being true to herself…that’s why she dances…as she’s unique & sees things differently…that’s the beauty & essence of her…many congratulations, dear Karima ✨💟💫
Thank you dearest Navin for your comment…She was a true lesson for me many years ago, when I was one of the mourners filing by and she was dancing on a grave…Many people shook their heads and I was one, until I realized I was witnessing a priceless moment of innocence.. sheer joy and innocence and I stopped judging her and admired this state..I had lost years before….
Oh whoa, congratulations!
Awww thanks so much Joyce..you’re so supportive!!

Thank you Joni..many blessings and hugs to you too, sweet poetic friend ❤️
My pleasure, you are so talented. 🦋❤️😘
I just took a look at “The Graveyard” KARIMA ! I am in awe of how much you can say with so few words and how your words made me visualize your written painting. Kudos Karima ! You are an
OLD SOUL Karima. However, I would be VERY shocked if you did not already know that !!
( From one old soul to another ! ) Maybe our paths have crossed in a previous life. Maybe not.
Like ships in the night, awaiting a new DAWN ! I hope you are happy Karima. You deserve to be HAPPY !!! Peace Karima
Marc

just read your poem there. The poem touched me.
I remember a couple months ago I saw a homeless child dancing in a rain like this is what he ever wanted in his life. I saw other people there, walking past by him and running holding umbrellas or founding cover.
Your words here touched me, it is so beautiful to read.
Hello Ritsh…thank you so much for reading my poem and commenting:) I am sorry WordPress had your comment pending and I just saw it tonight..along with a few others.. I am so glad my poem touched you and was very relatable to you in your own experience.
