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. May 21, 2020 WEAVING A WAYRA Poetry Contest Sponsor: nette onclaud Theme: Shaman Winner: 2nd Place

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

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 :)

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.

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. :)

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

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.
