Ashes
written by: Kanwal Naveed
Like the ashes in the tray
She was all burnt out
But still reeks of her passions…
Those that were great at some point
Rising high… Touching the sky
Now all that is left is her void
The uncertainties and losses
I’m Kanwal Naveed, a poet and roboticist from Pakistan. I write from the spaces between strength and softness, where silence often says more than words. My work explores themes of loss, longing, and quiet resilience. When I’m not building robots, I’m writing poems — I think that my career and the poems I write are a part of me. I enjoy bringing life to machines and words.
