This, here
a pocket of space and time
for just you, and me.

Hello, World!

Welcome to the blog!

Hi! I am Rafia Bilkis, the author of MindWraith. I write poems that have inspired in me an inner transformation—or epiphanies—and a lot of it have elements of nature, (and Nature with the capital “N”) or about state of mind and lived experiences.

Poetry came to me from longing to heal through more than just medicine (I am a med school graduate XD), but to move the spirit through words. I feel poetry has the ability to reach deep into the psyche if one is open to it. To this day, (and every day!) it still surprises me how simple words can have the ability to shift the inner world when they are weighted, or (as Emily Dickinson would say) slanted just right.

My inspirations are Rumi, Hafez of Shiraz, Kahlil Gibran, Emily Dickinson, Emily Brontë, anyone I meet, or the writings of all those who feel compelled to pour themselves into words.

❤
