As a person who takes keen interest in turning the spectrum of emotions we encounter as human beings into immortal words, I attempt to carry words like lanterns, offering light to those who wander in silence. For me, poetry is not merely written; it is lived, breathed, and shared as a gentle hand reaching across distances. I believe each verse has the power to soften loneliness, to remind us that our private aches are echoes of a larger human song. In teaching and in writing, I invite others to lean into language as into a mirror where self meets self, where the unknown within begins to speak. Through poetry, we come home to ourselves, together — and that is its power.
