Silence
Not in the hushed library of dust and age,nor the tomb’s hush where echoes dare not tread,nor the Arctic hush where snowflakes gently pledgeto blanket silence upon a world half-dead. Begin with whispers, whispers in the loam,a symphony of roots in search of light.The patient dance of microbes, secrets sown,each tiny sigh a testament to night. Let silence bloom in petals, velvet-furled,where morning dew collects a glistening tear.A spider spins a tapestry unfurled,and secrets bloom where shadows disappear. Then climb the canyons where the wind once roared,now sculpted stone in sun-kissed reverie.A language etched in silence, unafraid.A story whispered through eternity. Dive to the ocean floor, where shadows creep,where bioluminescent…

Why dare to speak of Russia’s ongoing genocide when remaining silent would at least spare us the financial burden of safeguarding the lives of innocent Ukrainian civilians? Or why dare to challenge the Islamic Republic’s actions, conducted through its proxies of Hamas and Hezbollah, when they are…

The intricacies of adoption from an adoptee’s perspective
Disclaimer This blog post is based on personal experiences and information available as of November 2023. While I have strived to provide accurate and up-to-date information, it is important to note that certain details have been omitted or rewritten for the sake of privacy. Additionally, adoption laws, practices, and experiences can vary widely depending on the country or region involved. Introduction There’s a lot of opposing views when it comes to adoption. Some see it as a saving grace for children with traumatic pasts, while others view it as a traumatic experience itself, ripping children away from their families. The truth is, both perspectives hold merit. In the world of…

[Poetry] Family’s embrace
In a home where love abounds,happiness as a family knows no bounds,a symphony of laughter and joy,in every precious girl and boy. Sitting around the dinner table,sharing stories, as we’re able,bonds of love that never cease,bringing comfort, bringing peace.
