As the leaves fall singing a last Hoora to sunny days, warm breezes, Replaced with a plethora of colors that freezes On the ground in an array of colors that blast
The verdant greens into yellowish Greens, oranges, and burnished reds That crinkle, crackle beneath our feet as heads Turn to watch the scene divided by roads of hardship
Where the greens have faded While the other paints a palette of reds That burn beauty Within as it delves and heads Into the sunset with its divided colors shaded
By God’s paintbrush that never Disappoints those who appreciate The divinity in the balance, never late, Always just as it equalizes reality of the creator.

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Vikas Arora My warmest greetings!
Yes! The collaborative poem connects with the theme of light and shadow. Analysis of the Poem The poem directly addresses the theme of light and shadow both literally and figuratively. It uses the contrast to explore concepts like creation, balance, emotion, and human nature. Here is a breakdown of how the poem connects to the theme: Creation and Balance: The first stanza uses the “shadows” as the origin of creation, with beauty being born “into light.” This sets up the idea that light and dark aren’t just opposites, but are intertwined and necessary for a balanced whole. Metaphor for Emotions: The poem extends the metaphor to human experience, comparing “pathos” (suffering, emotion) and “richness of soul” to opposing sides of a coin. This parallels the relationship between light and shadow, suggesting that both are essential parts of our inner world. Literal and Figurative Light Sources: The poem mentions the sun and moon as literal sources of light and shadow, but also gives them metaphorical roles. The sun’s “ablutions” and the moon’s “passions” are presented as forces that “coincide in stabilizing” the world. This reinforces the idea of balance between contrasting elements. The Unavoidable Shadow: The second poem brings in the personal, unavoidable nature of a shadow. The line, “Wherever you may go your shadow stays with you,” emphasizes that our “shadow” or darker side is an intrinsic part of us, a constant companion. This suggests that we cannot escape the duality of light and dark within ourselves. The poem consistently uses the duality of light and shadow to represent other opposing concepts like chaos and order, emotion and soul, and the divine and the mundane. The recurring idea is that these forces are not meant to be separated but exist in a state of interdependence, contributing to a harmonious or “mellow” whole.
👌Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful collaborative poem. 👏Congratulations! 👏👏🌷🌷🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎊
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Collaborative poem Malak Kalmoni Chehab & Drvikas Arora Canada India Theme: Light and shadow
Within the shadows, creation came from chaos A reign out of which beauty was born Into light, where balance isn’t a horn That divides but embraces the two sides, pathos
And richness of soul, are opposing Sides of the same coin of emotions, Equipoised similarly to sun’s ablutions And the moon’s passions coincide in stabilizing

Equality, equilibrium, equivalent, all Quiver needing balance under the Umbrella of justice, missing today, Instead, we’ve got inequality where Lean youths are arrested for wearing Inked flags, demonstrating their humanity Baring their souls for all to see their being Riled by a lack of equilibrium, where rights are Impaled by authorities to empower the Undisclosed truth that money rules, while Majesty of honesty, equilibrium, and justice fall.

SECULARISM
Severing the connection between religion’s Endavor to dictate the rules for society has Cut believers from implementing parts of their Undeniable ties to GOD, as within them there’s a Lawful balance between social, self, career, And world that defines rights of each on a Reality that is holistic and all encompassing, Intensifying the need to think beyond the Self, its needs, and elevate the needs of the Many through rules that satisfy the many.

As a teacher, after the day ends, I need time to recover my patience for my kids, so siesta! Yes, archaic, traditional, maybe, but it actually works. After waking up, I feel rejuvenated enough to be able to help my kids with their work with enough patience, I hope! My time was pretty much divided into early morning with kids and sandwiches for kids, school, home, eat, siesta, teach, make dinner, kids sleep, then time for my husband and lesson plans/ correcting tests.
The best way to keep the balance going is to make sure you spend quality time with each family member. This makes sure you are still connected to them, although your time is limited. Communication is a key component to creating that balance.
The best way to exercise is to do so with someone who will be encouraging, loving, and supportive. That way, your initiative for doing something ‘healthy’ will feel like fun rather than a chore. I love exercising in the sun, where its rays rejuvenate my ability to cope with a world that has taken things to extremes.
Exercise is movement Xed by a complacent mind Eagerly trying to veg Remembering movement only Cements your biological needs Implying a sedentary life Serving only yourself to Ever believe that exercise is balance for life.
