Dance

I used to dance when I had legs I used to smile when I had lips I was from Aleppo now I am from hospital My country is gone my heart is gone If I had arms I could paint my pain Inside my mind sometimes I still dance

This is very touching, Aurore. Fighting in Aleppo has destroyed buildings and people's lives. Will life ever be the same :( ~ Congratulations on p.o.t.d. // paul

' Inside my mind, sometimes I still dance. ' Memories can bring moments to life. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. I'm curling your thoughts softly around my heart. Congratulations Aurore, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Dear Aurore, I empathize with your words as they echo the silent struggles, the untold stories. You've created emotions with such rawness that they pierce through. Today, your art deserves recognition, a POTD honor that amplifies your voice and the voices of countless others silenced by circumstance. Keep dancing within your mind; it's a testament to resilience. - Blessings, Daniek

Dear Aurore, Congratulations on this heartfelt POTD.. I am deeply sorry for your personal pain and the horrific transformation of living in a war worn setting. I personally am dealing with a fractured pelvis but thankfully still have my arms and my heart and mind. Bless you and I sincerely hope things become more positive for you.

So many things have been taken away. What of hope when in the midst of such destruction? If only we could paint away our pain, or a poet release it with words… POTD praised.
