Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Remorseful Actions

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work.

Remorseful Actions

As the guilt presses down on my heart,
I look into the sky towards your hut,
Where your gardens prosper,
And delicacies abound, but never shatter

Your serenity that enrobes contrition
With a balm of faith leading to absolution
For actions that might have created
A snow ball of reactions that fenced

Calamities in your midst,  propelling
You into regretful actions causing
Others pain while striving not to fall
Apart while the pressure turns into a ball

Of explosive events
That need you to barter millions of cents
For your soul in penitence
For actions coming out of ignorance.

Quiet

What do you listen to while you work?

When I’m in the zone working, I enjoy quiet solitude in order to promote concentration and better writing. When too much background noise is around me, I tend to feel overwhelmed by it, creating a faster heartbeat that can be exhausting.

So, a quiet environment is ideal, but I can be hyperfocused enough to tune out ‘white noise’ in order to achieve my objective.

If I’m doing something manually, exercise, cooking, baking, I enjoy listening to the recitation of the Quraan, as it has a musicality that pumps me with happy endorphins, envigorates my mind, and empowers me with Knowledge and understanding. 😊

Patience

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

My preferred ability is patience. It helps keep me centered, calm, and listen; most times, anyway! I hate that I’m able to bottle up hurts without voicing them until I overload. That’s when my patience is a great boon and virtue that helps me overcome some difficulties.

Hubris of a City Moon

A poem by me, read by me, from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed.

It’s about the beauty of the moon, and the appearance it gives that all is easy. Patience and calm are reflected into the hubris of the 🌙 🌔 .
