Sharing one of my poems that was published in the Nassau County Poetry Laureate Society (NCPLS) in the year 2017. The poem is as follows:
This poem was written from a place /state/ feeling of complete darkness and feeling the heavy burden or suffocation if I may say from the world and its turbulences ( the waves), hence I personified the pearl in the shell that is typically at the very bottom of ocean bed, ( and the fact that there is layer of shell locking it or imprisoning it already)
For some reason, I felt a resonance to the idea that is in one of the verses from the holy Quran (Surah An-Nur 24:40), that actually mentions about the deep darkness at the very depth of ocean and waves below waves (internal waves and turbulences) , and they liken that to be state of a disbeliever who longs for light...
I was in awe of this as I actually did not know about this verse when I composed my poem...but somehow the themes resonated.
Interestingly, I also stumbled upon a piece of music (see below the link) by a new age artist, but that for some reason evoked same emotions as my poem, hence I decided to share, the music is here:
