Poem: Nourished

Hello Poetteers,

Nourished

My soul most nourished
when I'm awake with 
myself at the bookstore
hanging out with my mom
hearing from my friends
better when I see them

My soul most nourished
when I pray and meditate with yoga
when I finally find a moment
to write in my journal

When I learn about my faith
learn to love.


Behind the Poem
I wrote this poem back in Dec 2013 for a something called Reverb13. The poem is now published in my book, Blossoming Heart.

When do you feel most nourished?

Stay inspired,
Fida
