Self portrait

How may we describe the fragrance of our soul, which dwells within this earth vessel we adorn, as we shape shift, hoping one day to feel whole, noticing that we are with each breath reborn, whilst enacting playfully, our ordained role, nonchalant in tempests of both praise and scorn? Transcending opposites, we’ve reclaimed soul’s light, with love drenched heart pulsating with bliss delight.

outstanding creation! I appreciate your rhymes and the masterful way you've created this poetic form. More than that, I'm grateful for the insight within your words. Indeed, one's self portrait changes as one transcends and reclaims the 'soul's light.' Profound and inspirational. Have a splendid day, Sara

This hits home! So well written dear seeker! I love your rhymes too and depth of what you’ve delivered for self portrait. Especially felt and resonated with “ as we shape shift, hoping one day to feel whole, noticing that we are with each breath reborn” your poems emanate light that truly touches readers soul! Pleasure reading your work. Best wishes for the contest
