My Place of Peace

Because I am an avatar
weightless, my body but a
pixelated illusion,
when I want to find peace,
I go to my virtual Memorial
floating in the images
of what was, but now gone,
I feel an acceptance, a quiet assurance
that all is as it should be…
and in the changing textures,
the floating orbs that morph their colors

in a space I created from my imagination,
revolving to the music
I float around and around,
in my place of peace.

    How lovely! And poetically put. That is such a beautiful place; I’m glad you have such a place to find peace. We all need it so much these days…

      Oh yes, I agree Dale…the world today almost makes it obligatory to have such a place and Natascha’s Memorial has become that for me, years later after her death. I added Maki today as he is also a soul I miss very much..and somehow when I am in the virtual, I feel closer to my departed souls…if that makes any sense. Thank you for commenting:

    Super relaxing … that delicate music with the trickling water; those mandalas and butterflies … something to really chill out to, thanks!

    Such beautiful pictures she made. She was an artist from the heart.

    • Awww Nat was certainly that…in both still and machinima she had the soul of an artist…I feel closer to her everytime I float there and also feel such immersive peace:)

    Todos tenemos problemas y dificultades en la vida por eso es necesario tener nuestra autoestima elevada y eso, lo has conseguido en tu rincón especial. Tu paz espiritual es contagiante. Me encanta tu poema . Me traslada a un lugar especial. Buena semana Karima.

    • Muchas gracias Manuel y que gusto que tu encontraba en mi lugar de paz un stimulante para tu propia imaginación..y recuerdos de estos lugares de tu vida que también te trayería paz .Esta musica es muy especial, relajante un poco nostálgica (como yo:) Qué tengas un semana excelente mi amigo:)

        Es dulce recordar instantes del pasado. Los miramos con melancolía pues sabemos que ya no volverán, se quedaron ahí, pero nuestra vida sigue y tenemos que vivir el presente. Para mi, será un placer mayor leerte. Me conecto contigo. Un abrazo Karima

    Very beautiful, Karima 💙

  10. This is so cool, Karima! Very soothing.

    • Thanks so much Dawn, it really is a cool place to be immersed inside. Nat did all the wild photgraphy you see . I just added my cat Maki who died on Good Friday this year..Makes me feel a bit closer to both of them:)

    What a lovely place, an abode of peace, Karima! Your poetic words with soft music add the significance you wish to put. I can feel your feelings. Such sweet memories never fade. God bless you and Nat🙏💐❤️

    • Thank you so much Kaushal…Nat is still very alive in me and when I want to feel even closer, I visit her memorial I created in my grief, when I lost her….and there I find peace.
