You are my sunshine breaking through clouds. You are my sunrise rising through mountains. You are my dawn chasing away shadows. You are my rain softening the drought. You are my compass pointing me home. You are my garden blooming through ruins. You are my river cutting through stone. You are my armor shielding my heart.
— Sadia Hakim
Poet’s Note
A love letter in metaphors — this piece captures the strength of someone who feels like safety, renewal, and direction all at once. It’s about the kind of love that heals, grounds, and transforms us even in our darkest moments.
