Shadorma Life and Death

Shadorma: Life

A baby
Their first baby steps
They're walking
They're talking
Their graduation, marriage
Start a family.

*HMS: 3,5,3,3,7,5.

Shadorma: Death

Occasions
Our lifetime partner
Birth abides
All our lives
Shadows round-the-clock non-stop
Until instructed.

*HMS: 3,5,3,3,7,5.

Andrea Dietrich February 17, 2022 at 8:55 PM so very true, William and I like the contrast you gave. William Kelii Kekaula February 17, 2022 at 9:51 PM As it is my way, whence I strut an unknown, I read up and it was your boy, Andrea, opening and the closure formatted apart--Fantastic (Nette too)! Obviously my first Shadorma, yours inspired Death, I added Life after much thought, for I believed that it should stand alone! Anywho, it is what it is--THANKS Andrea, Aloha~William!
