SURPASSING
There are feelings beyond expressions,
Emotions that can never in words be told
be it in poetry or prose;
Feelings above music and song.
All these mediums and more,
can light the flame;
Make your spirit soar beyond,
To where only rapture resides,
Thoughts suspended.
To where you can feel an ecstasy
Emotion beyond a name.
Where you want to stay and fly free;
Also cry the tears you hidden,
tears, also without name.
Cleansing in their own purity.
Moments of epiphany.

Bringing to you the undiscovered
A welcoming space for resistance to the forces of oppression and hegemony.
Photos, art, and a little bit of LIT.
as opposed to a “not thinking chitalia”
Art, health, civilizations, photography, nature, books, recipes, etc.
Taking the journey, bumps and all
Recognizing & appreciating our oneness with Nature
Never Grow Old
The World According to Siri and Selma
what you see, it's up on you!
Words are art on paper, and for me they are the seeds of my soul.

Miriam, I love how you capture the moments of epiphany… with such beauty and purity! I remember discovering the word as young and it was an epiphany in itself … that there was a word for most absolute of emotions, of oneness! For those ‘feelings beyond expressions,’ Thank you so much for putting these gifts of life into words for us! Hugs xx ❤️

You are hitting a chord in how I am feeling today, Miriam. And, like you say well, feelings and emotions “can never in words be told….”. You remind me how tears can flow, yet we do not have words to discuss or describe. And then I read how you share about tears. I usually type my comment as I am reading and I am surprised, yet not surprised how your poem includes tears. Beautiful, Miriam!

Erica, I looked with surprise when I saw your answer to another poem. Two from you in one morning – and the sun showing its face. Many feelings can’t be explained fully and at times not at all. Sadness is one of them.
Your in depth comment is beautiful and again I feel honoured by your true
understanding. 💕
