A world of dew,

And within every dewdrop

A world of struggle.

Life is complex. Everything is not what it seems. It all depends on the angle you choose to look at it from.

I chose this poem because it reminded me that I have the power to look at life the way I want to.

The light of a candle

Is transferred to another candle—

Spring twilight

If there was no beginning there will be no end. As long as lives are being born, there are lives that are going to be lost. Just like the twilight we all adore. That moment when the colors of the sky intertwine leaving behind a sense of warmth in our hearts. This is nothing but the undeniable beauty of life.

I really love this poem because it illustrates how life comes to a full circle.

I write, erase, rewrite

Erase again, and then

A poppy blooms.

Humans are prone to making mistakes. It is not something to be ashamed of. We make mistakes and learn from them and make even more mistakes. In the end what we learn along the way shapes us as human beings.

This poem truly captures what being a human is all about. I like it because it reminds me that I can make as many mistakes as I want as long as I learn from them.]]> 2021-03-04 09:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ayshaalshamsi126/lkmh879pkzf97eus/wish/1268015759 ayshaalshamsi126 https://padlet.com/ayshaalshamsi126/lkmh879pkzf97eus/wish/1268148389
Morning air is crisp

Wind is blowing at my face

Winter has arrived
