Morning Moon is the second collection of poetry and poetic prose by Michael Raqim Mira, written in the quiet hours between midnight and sunrise when thought and memory drift closer to the surface. In this liminal space, Mira reflects on relationships of every kind. Romantic bonds, friendships that anchor or unravel, and the layered influence of family all appear through intimate, carefully observed moments. These pieces move through the ever-shifting terrain of memory and the way it forms identity. Some poems and prose pieces draw from lived experience while others use fictional voices and allegorical scenes to explore inner questions that refused to rest until they were given a platform on the page.
The collection turns toward communication and the fragile ways people try to reach one another. Words connect, fail, blur, clarify, and create entire emotional landscapes. Loss and death appear as persistent companions that provoke deeper attention to what remains. Alongside these themes is an ongoing desire to pursue a life directed by personal truth, curiosity, and agency.
Morning Moon follows the rhythm of nighttime contemplation and early morning clarity. Its poems search for meaning in the often unseen emotional patterns that accompany everyday life.
