Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.
He stands calm and deep, a steady guide,
Love in his silence, strength in his stride.
Caring in ways that need no display,
With a playful joy that still finds its way.
Anchor in Every Storm
Author: SIMI
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.
Standing Bright
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
This past year carried twists I didn’t foresee,
yet I met each day with steady positivity.
Not because life offered comfort at every chance,
but because optimism became my chosen stance.
The Gentle Skill
What skills or lessons have you learned recently?
Lately, I’ve been learning the quiet skill of pause,
to listen before reacting, to soften instead of cause.
I’m learning that patience isn’t waiting in disguise,
but trusting that clarity arrives when effort rests its eyes.
Subtle Reminders
What cities do you want to visit?
I’m not drawn to crowded cities or echoes of the past,
but to open landscapes where the rain makes the earthy aroma last.
I listen to wind and water, and to the songs of birds and bees,
Nature gently reminds me, I’m a minuscule, as I breathe beneath tall trees.
Seen, Not Measured
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
I hope they say I made them feel seen,
heard without haste, understood in between.
That in my presence, they could simply be,
unmasked, unguarded, and gently free.
A Heart Rewritten
Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.
My first day as a mother arrived without rehearsal or rule,
tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and suddenly life rewrote its truth.
I was afraid, amazed, and fiercely awake all at once,
that was the day I learned that sometimes love doesn’t grow, it arrives whole and immense.
Performance of a Lifetime
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
Yes, I’ve stood on many stages, classrooms, halls, and bright-lit rooms,
spoken my truth, shared my stories, watched nervousness turn to bloom.
But the greatest stage I stand on, the one that shapes me every day,
is Life itself, where every moment asks me to show up in my own way.
Breathing with the Dawn
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?
I’m a sunrise-yoga soul, unfolding with the day,
where the sky blushes softly and my worries drift away.
Each pose becomes a promise the morning gifts to me,
that strength can feel like stillness, and movement can set me free.
Unshaken
What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
I admire those who remain tender when the world turns severe,
who hold onto integrity even when convenience feels near.
Those who rise after falling, still soft in word and stance,
reminding me that true strength is grace dressed in quiet confidence.
The Beautiful Chase
What’s your favorite cartoon?
Tom and Jerry was my favourite, mischief woven with play,
a chase without a finish line, yet timeless in its way.
They battled, then forgave, with loyalty that wouldn’t split,
reminding me love endures, even when tempers briefly hit.
