Now silence opens its mouth and finds nothing left to call me. #vss365 #autumnal16 Sep 2026 13:44 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvnbi5qgqs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3mvidknks722kthe rose forgets the seed beneath its beginning, the roots that stayed buried, the leaves that fed it light, the thorns that guarded its bloom. #sanguine— or merely in bloom? #vss36514 Sep 2026 14:37 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvidknks722khttps://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3mvfsgmbifc24The bird of self-deception has already flown.

Its fortune wakes; the stars bear witness. grief found me— wept, knowing my name. those who fault my love— blame them not; they’re steeped in #naivete. Some wounds keep their own light. #vss36511 Sep 2026 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvapkt4pmc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3mv6j2wj7uk2zThe Pilgrim walks the straight road beneath a crooked shade— a #mélange of whispers where doubt veils the light.

The Indus runs through it- toward you. I keep my creed’s village beneath my bones- doors open, hearth warm, a path homeward. Words wander. Love has made my hands #adroit- at finding you where every river remembers the sea. #vss36506 Sep 2026 15:19 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3muuc57bry224https://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3murj5ot7cc2d#vss365 #reconnoitre05 Sep 2026 12:46 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3murj5ot7cc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3mupaa5nvz22mTea cools beside me.

The mountains quiet my blood. Wind moves through the pines- and the wounded in me lets go. Beyond medicine, healing flows. Beyond prayer, grace grows. Rain, earth, and the green silence of becoming whole. Nature- my oldest #elixir. #vss36503 Sep 2026 11:16 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumd6srcsc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3muh5yqaejc2oShe never asked why. She simply held the ache until it became part of her red. The sun scorched her. The rain bent her. The wind took her petals— yet the dahlia bloomed again. Perhaps #empathy is this: to feel another’s wound without becoming its ruin, and still leave room for them to bloom. #vss36501 Sep 2026 10:00 +0000at://did:plc:chdxxh3np7uhfvxkmsdkbr2d/app.bsky.feed.post/3muh5yqaejc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/abidsaleem-ktk.bsky.social/post/3muf3aupr5c2sIn the next room, they arrange a future around your name.
