Relatable Quotes #3

~ Nuraine Sadaf ~ Leave a comment

A man’s emotions are what define him and control is the hallmark of true strength. To lack feelings is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Brandon Sanderson, Way of Kings

I LOVE Brandon Sanderson’s work. Last year, I was swimming in an ocean of emotions and feelings and when I was read this it gave me strength and made me feel it’s okay to have all these feelings, but there’s no need to dwell on them.

Books teach us so much everyday, what would I do without them!

A Daydream

~ Nuraine Sadaf ~ 2 Comments

It’s so peaceful.
Another world,
Another universe.
The sound of waves gently lashing on the beach.
Each one with its own song to sing.
If only you could hear,
At a far distance – a bird
No, lots of birds – their sweet calls
Then someone calls me ..
Breaks my reverie,
And I’m back on this beach,
On earth.
I look around.
I can no longer hear the music of the waves,
Lost are the songs of the birds.
I am in this world
Trapped!
I want to be free …..

Spotlight is a new category on Into Words. Here, I will be posting poems from people who have shied away from sharing their work/don’t have a platform to publish their work/never considered putting their work on a public platform.

Sometimes we don’t realise how good our stories, poems, and thoughts can be and like the saying goes, “This world needs more art.” and art in any form is always appreciated. This section is all about sharing and appreciating ideas. It doesn’t have to follow any rules of perfection. If you feel you have a story/poem/idea to share, then please give me an opportunity to put you under the spotlight.
