Aditi Mishra Poet Verse

Wayra Shaman

Euphoric hope spills
                                        from my eyes gleaming with love,
                                                  ambrosial shaman enchants
                                                         aching sobs of my son;

I see him mourn next to my corpse.

Connie Marcum Wong May 23, 2020 at 12:53 PM The most important thing we take with us when we die are our emotions. It’s a sad but beautiful piece of Aditi. Congratulations on your podium win! Blessings xxoo Aditi Mishra May 23, 2020 at 7:28 PM Emotions that bind us also liberate us. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation Connie :)

Nette Onclaud May 23, 2020 at 4:42 AM how difficult to let go and yet this poem lifts the spirit, aditi, perhaps yours too...warm congrats on your high slot in my contest...huggs Aditi Mishra May 23, 2020 at 10:19 AM I believe hope is an undying trait inside every human and it resurfaces in each phase. Thank you for giving thought provoking themes in your contest and for this placement Nette :)

John Watt May 21, 2020 at 6:50 PM You have once again nicely blended sadness with hope in your beautiful poetry. A lovely take on the shaman choice, though always hard to imagine having to say goodbye to a child or parent. Best wishes in the contest, Aditi, I'm sure this will do well. Aditi Mishra May 21, 2020 at 10:42 PM It is definitely hard and sad to say goodbye especially with the deceased in peace and the living in mourning. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation John. :)

Paul Callus May 21, 2020 at 1:32 PM I see this as the love of a mother who relies on the spiritual healing of her son. Hope I got it right, Aditi. ~ Regards // paul Aditi Mishra May 21, 2020 at 1:36 PM Your interpretation could be one way Paul. The other could be that the son wishes to release his mother's spirit from the body and she watches him with love.

Vijay Pandit May 21, 2020 at 6:45 AM I like the turn in the ending line, Aditi. Aditi Mishra May 21, 2020 at 6:48 AM Thank you Vijay :)
