Carving Freedom’s Lands

Drawing lines between the thoughts,
Puzzled in a freedom’s square,
Where the colours become words,
For the stories to be shared.
There is not a silent shade,
But a passion and a dare.

Crafting dreams from what seems gone,
Broken in a misty tale,
Twisting sorrow to fresh dawn,
With the hues from the faith’s trail,
Where the memories enfold,
Zesty sagas to be told.

Painting joy beneath the skies
Where the peace is having tea,
Dressed in love, so bright and wise,
Days are finding the new me.
Shaping art among my hands,
Deeply carving freedom’s lands.

A great poetic tribute to the arts.

And I love your description of applying the arts as “carving freedom’s lands”.

I’m Simona

One day, I tumbled from a tiny star called Dream and landed in a cup of Hope, just beyond the zone of hard work, where daily wishes meet reality.

I’ve always dreamed of visiting Antarctica, though I haven’t made it there yet! Until then, I journey through the intricate landscapes of the human body in my work at the hospital, tracking the unseen stories of cells.

When I step outside my comfort zone, you might find me on a train to Eastbourne, Matlock, or Canterbury, breathing in the fresh air and gathering inspiration. I return with pockets full of poetic ideas, though time rarely lets me write them all down.

London’s endless rainy days often set the stage for my impromptu singing performances on my way to work. I love dancing too, especially the waltz, though I’m a bit too shy to twirl in the rain.

I have a soft spot for pasta, coffee, chocolate, and a good laugh. Politics might elude me, but the human soul does not. And if there’s one thing I believe in, it’s this: Love is our strongest emotion, survival instinct, and essential need.
