POEM| Pay More Attention

POEM| Pay More Attention

When was the last time you stopped to notice
the smell in the air
the presence of silence

the size of a raindrop
the sound of your breathing
the unsaid

When was the last time you really listened
to your heart
to your spirit
to your being

to your voice
to your self

When was the last time you noticed every thing and not just the things you chose to
?

About Me

I’m Mariam — writer, explorer, observer of life’s quiet and loud moments. I started this blog in March 2017 as a self-discovery space, and over the past eight years, it has grown into a home for everything that moves me and hopefully, something that moves you too. Here, you will find poetry, reflections, travel stories, lifestyle pieces, motivation, inspiration and Lagos restaurant reviews all written with honesty and heart. Enjoy!
