“Monochrome Girl” by Dale Innis on Midjourney AI
In The Night of My Calling
In the night of my calling.
I only pretended to be awake.
Something deep inside me
that has never awakened
kept holding me down
at the bottom of my sleep.
It was a safe still bed
below the silver shining veil
I had no need to breathe or speak.
I was not in a form
that required maintenance
or anything much of me.
It came like a rumble
this calling that reached me.
It begged to be let in
to be welcomed
to brush its hair
and give thanks
to dry the tears
to look a stranger in the eye
touch them and say,
“I’m so glad you’re finally here.”
I felt almost human and seen
tears ran down my face;
they pumped through my veins
Every single suffering person
in the whole world
knocked on my door
at the same moment
saying “We can’t any longer”
And I let them in.
I let them into my heart
for as long as I could hold them.
Then they stopped their crying
and in that moment
they felt totally safe;
they were totally safe.
They were here, then they were gone.
And I felt a great emptiness inside…
Because, now there was no doubt…
I was totally wide awake.

Oh, beautifully expressed. If every suffering person in the world could be comforted…
Thank you Dale and yes…Inshallah, at least for a few minutes..
i love this poem. it speaks for something deep inside that also wakes in me! nothing is happening yet a whole lot is going on!
I think it is a process like everything..and as we talked about…there is that right time for everything too:) Thank you soulkin..I am glad you felt this one too🤗
What an incredible poem, Karima, that hurtles toward its necessary and awakening ending. Gorgeous! ❤
Thank you so much Layla..I have been asleep and quiet for quite a long time.. but what wants to come…comes when it wants. Your words are very inspiring for me.
Another of your splendid pieces that resonates…
Thank you so much. I seem to be caught between sailing above it all or coming down and feeling it all. Sighs 🤗
The fine art of tethering…
💗
🙏🌹
Thank you, Karima, for this wonderful and inspiring poem.
I would like to write you a quote from a famous German poet:
“Whatever is not in man does not come from him.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832) is considered one of the most important representatives of German-language poetry
Greetings from the beautiful Rhine-Highlands / Germany….

Thank you so much Rosie. I really loved the quote and also your comment. Greetings from beautiful Costa Rica 🇨🇷
What an ending!…it gave me goosebumps…the way you “build” your pieces is still amazing to me…it’s like one is turning the volume up gradually…the cinematic effect…this is such a deep piece of awakening at a different level…Karima is written all over this piece…your signature style ✨❤️💫
Thank you my friend..interestingly, this poem came through a day after I finished my video/poem The Mountain, where I say sometimes it’s just better to fly above the pain..but this message was very different than that. Yes it was a type of awakening “at a different level” as you say. Thank you again for vibrating to its message. Haha… I like you see a “signature style” in my writing…Love that ❤️
How lovely…I’m gonna check your poem, The Mountain as well…I need to catch up…I do see your signature style & I love that…the pleasure is mine, dear Karima ❤️
Hugs my sensitive friend… your eyes dive deep below the surface as your poetry does too. ❤️
Amazing poem, Karima!
Thank you so much for reading it Dawn:) I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Wow Karima, this is so deep and powerful! I love your poem with such gifts and opens the senses profoundly. Incredible imagery, Truly a gift to all mankind. 💕💕
Ohhh Cindy, your words brought tears. So much to say about this world at this moment, but also it can’t be avoided forever… still my voice feels pretty mute… I am slowly allowing myself to wake up… hugss thank you for what you said. It’s so nice to be seen sometime.
Oh, I’m so happy as it’s most deserving. It is beyond words and I think you did such an amazing job in your delivery. hugs and love my friend. xo ❤️

I let them into my heart…so lovely, Karima! It also speaks how large hearted you are. Amazing imagery! A brilliant poem 👏💐💖
Thank you so much Kaushal. This poem came in a special way. Your words mean much to me
