Thereโ€™s a quiet ache running through this, and I felt it. The repetition of โ€œlife happens in whispersโ€ gives the poem a heartbeat - soft, persistent, almost like a prayer.I love when poetry dares to hold both sorrow and wonder in the same breath. Thank you for sharing this-thereโ€™s a lot to sit with here.

Yes! This is exactly my feeling when thinking about all that - the contrast between sorrow and wonder. Thank you so much, Nazish, for your words and for being such a supportive and quality reader. ๐Ÿค

Oh wow, that is probably my favorite so far! You are so, so talented. I have so many lines I love that I donโ€™t know what to re-stack
