The Ledger of Light

The sunset is a ledger,
inking light into the lake,
a contract between endings
and the colours they remake.

The water is a question
wearing stillness as its skin,
a lock that never opens
yet keeps letting you walk in.

The sky is just a whisper
that the day has one more breath,
a fire that doesn’t burn,
yet warms the edge of depth.

The hills are quiet witnesses,
jury to the dusk’s soft trial,
shadowed, but not absent,
silent, but not in denial.

The tree is not a tree at all,
but a map of who you were,
roots below the surface,
stories tangled in its blur.

And you?
You’re the ripple,
small, unseen, but real,
proof that even stillness
has a pulse it tries to feel.

Reflection isn’t memory.
It’s a lantern made of glass,
it doesn’t show the journey back,
it lights the way you’ll pass.

A lover of life and its divine details, I chose many professions, but writing chose me. The word infinity has always stirred a quiet wonder in me, about where we come from, where we’re going, and what lies beyond. It is this wonder that fuels my words. A certified life coach, dentist, nutritionist, dietitian, content creator, and French language enthusiast, I wear many hats, but at heart, I’m a seeker. A seeker of meaning, of beauty, of the unseen stories that surround us. To me, life is not a destination, but a sacred process of continuous learning, feeling, and unfolding. This space, Poetry and Fitness, is where my passions meet: emotional well-being, physical health, parenting reflections, and poetic expression. Through every post, every poem, and every quote, I hope to spark thought, healing, and a sense of connection. Thank you for being here. Let’s grow, heal, and rise together.
