Existence, Time, and Surroundings in Niamat  Elhamri's Poetry

     Niamat Elhamri, the well-known poetess of Morocco and abroad widens her poetry in such a way that existence requires physical reality and space and  time measures the change and motion within it, and our surroundings provide the dynamic environment that makes these realities perceptible to consciousness. She has the existence, carrying the closest heart's view on love by adoring and trusting. Thus, she writes,
'I know no existence but yours, my guide,
And nothing else has occupied my mind, how blind!
For this , I confess, I've been unjust,
Yet, for you, my heart does solely trust.

I've sought no other, nor played a part,
For always you've been closed to my heart.
A child of your heart, am I
You thought me how to adore, to sigh.'1

        It's to say properly that at its most basic level, existence is the tangible reality of the universe—ranging from fundamental particles to the cosmos. It relies on the three spatial dimensions ,i.e,length, wideth, and height, to hold tangible form. She has the passion through oceanic love, embracing with the belongings through the gaining dream where heaven's goldenness is destined. Thus, she writes,
'You fed me  the bread of passion's feast,
Drowned me in oceans love, released.
You lifted me in high, way from the throng,
In your embrace,I've found where I belong.

How many fought to win my hand,
Yet gained no more than shadow's strands.
For you, the knight of every maiden's dream,
Destined for me, as heaven's golden glean.'2
        Accurately speaking, she feels time is the progression of events and alterations within physical existence, moving from the past, through the present, and into the future, and while classical physics treats it as an absolute dimension, Einstein’s theory of relativity proves it is relative, interlocking with space to form a four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.Thus, a poem on her,
'You are the accelerator
of truth
through brightness
         and absolutenness
Where the domes of
          wholeness
              and uniqueness
are certained to clearness.

Really you are necessitated with row of righteousness
        and essenceness
          of humanity.'3

         Properly saying, Niamat Elhamri endows that our surroundings act as the physical manifestation of space. No existence occurs in a vaccum; every distinct entity creates an environment for another,and, the continuous interaction between an entity and its surroundings allow for perception, evolution, and measurement, and, therefore, it carries the love through devotion, steadfasting with noutishment through fragrance of flower's embrace for blooming heart. Thus, she writes,
'I loved you not for love alone,
But for the air your love had shown.
For I am the child of your devotion,
Unweavering , steadfast, a bounless ocean.

You nourished me with loyalty's grace,
A fragrant drink from your flowers' embrace.
Truly, my love your's to keep,
For in my heart , your root runs deep.'4

          It's to say permanently that physics measures time through thermodynamics, i.e, entropy, which always increases and dictates the irreversible 'arrow of time' and relativity where mass and velocity warp the flow of time,and cutting-edge quantum theories even suggest time might be an 'emergent' property rather than a fundamental backdrop of reality. So, she realises to know the finest gift through sense and grace of love. Thus, she writes,

'And all the world shall surely kmow,
To another's love, I can not go.
To another's love ,

You are the finest gift from above,
And I, a grace, sent for your love.'5


       Niamat Elhamri is a  Moroccan writer and poet, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Barcelona Litetary Magazine, General Secretary of the World Writers Union, Member of the Arab Writers Union and Arab Cultural Union. Her published books are: ' Ouzouf wa Enfessal' in Arabic , ' Shunning and Separation ' in English; International Anthology :' Whisper Acrosss Languages ', 'Let the Rose Bloom,' ' Stations from Memory', Encyclopedia of Short Stories, Egypt; Short Story Collections 'Your Last Memlody', ' If Not for Those Borders', ' Venice/ Romulus and Remus', ' My Trace before Deperture', ' Sacrifical Offerings', Upcoming: A Collective Book: Ward No.36, ' On the Shelves of
Oblivion.'


       Truthfully speaking, Niamat Elhamri thinks that
philosophically, the boundary between  three concepts shifts depending on consciousness, and, spiritual traditions and yogic perspectives, like those discussed by figures point out that time and space are primarily realities for beings with a physical body and an active intellect. Without conscious perception to measure the interval between changes, time ceases to hold meaning. She has responding of call through the stream where dream goes to misery. Thus, it may be added,

'They could not stay without rrsponding to that call;
How sweet the days were !
But both the arrival of rain-queen
The new youthful stream swelled;
Their stream-days, dream-homes
Turned into the nightmare ;
They only waited in fear;
Their lands were swallowed up by the stream;
Taking with their misery the homesteads
Began to ride on the back of history in the country of time.'6


         It's to say from micro point of view that environment, relating to existence, is constituted of individual existence, environment imparts impulse, existence adopts it according to its ownness, and
time, like an Illusion and notion that every          entity has two inseparable parts,and the imperceptible existence and the perceptible body. She has the delightful remembrance through the moon's cleanliness with the trace of heart.Thus, she writes,

'The nights of laughter , the evenings of delight,
I remember your love of coffee, without sugar,
I see you at dawn's first sight,
And when the moon bids the night.

I remember your voice near
Like a load played on a string clear,
Like the water's roar against stone sheer,
Quenching every trace in my heart, dear.'7

          She terminates her thought through poetry that time is the indefinite, continuous progression of existence and events encompassing the past, present, and future, collectively forming a unified whole, and, without consciousness, there is no 'in-between' state, no pause, no waiting; all change is instant. When change is instantaneous, time becomes entirely irrelevable..., and
there is an influential distinction in ontology between concrete and abstract objects,and, many concrete objects, like rocks, plants, and other people, are encounte. She has the waiting for longing renew among words' painting in the ages of gold, and she is gazing the love that never dies. Thus, she writes

'Despite the distance and the yearn,
Leaving me a scorching burn, I wait for you,
Like thirsty soil awaiting  rain's return
Longing for the first drop's renew.

I remember the fading of cold,
And returning to you with words so bold,
I write you in poems and prose untold,
and painting our love with letters of light between
ages of gold.

Will you come back again?
The heart can no longer  bear the pain.
The soul longs for the gaze of your eyes,
And a love that that never dies.'8


       On the whole, Niamat Elhamri feels taking the idea on the essential depth of poetry where existence, time and surroundings are terminated about.
