The cycle of life always goes on.
That’s another constant, Binky. 🙂
ETERNAL RHYTHM
A clinging
Then a relaxing
The rhythm
Of presence
Birth and death are our breathing
We come and we go

(The line of inspiration continues it appears, 🙂 )
Aww, this is beautiful, Ben. Thanks for continuing the inspiration, too. 🙂
Like “String Of Lights”. 🙂

Beautiful shadorma, Lauren. And timely for me right now, thank you.
Thanks so much, Betty, and I hope you’re okay…💕💕
Doing okay, thanks Lauren. (Everything recently came back on me re my son’s death 6 months ago and it’s like being back to square one again. Trying to keep it together…)
Oh, Betty, I had a feeling it was about your son and I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine or pretend to know what you’re going through. If you ever need someone to talk to and listen, I’m here. My email is baydreamer25@gmail.com. Sending hugs…xoxo
Thank you for your email address, Lauren. I might just write to you when I have a chance, and appreciate your caring words. It seems so many of us here on WP are dealing with grief of one kind or another and the empathy we share with each other is invaluable. (I’ve been thinking of taking a break from blogging but would probably go into withdrawal. 😌 )
Thank you again – sending hugs back. 💞
I want you to know you’d be missed, Betty, but you must do what is best for you. Here or there you will be in my thoughts.
No decision made yet, Ben. Thank you very much for your kind words. Fact is, there are some wonderful poets here who have become dear friends (such as yourself) and it’d be my loss to leave after six years. I’d miss y’all too much. 😍 Will maybe just cut back. And the same goes – either way you’ll be in my thoughts.
Thank you. I’ve also read your discussion with Lauren.
It does seem that way, doesn’t it, Betty? I know of two more people (friends/family) who have cancer now, and it’s just horrible. Where is that cure? I don’t know if you remember, but I took a blog break from January to August of this year; September is when I began again. So, I understand blog breaks. Sometimes, it’s good and calming to disengage, even though we miss our friends here in blogland. Just do what you feel is right for you because taking care of YOU is what matters most. And please write if you need to also. I’m here. 🙂 💓💓💓
Yes, I too know of several people currently battling cancer and is indeed horrible. The cure rate is supposedly improving, but….
As for blog breaks, I too took breaks off and on for a couple of years (because of back pain) and I think that’s how we lost touch. Somehow you had disappeared from my “following” list. Just glad we met up again in September.
Thank you again for your caring words – am doing better today and planning to just cut back here on WP, rather than taking a break. Will see how it goes. Might still write you though so we’ll have each other’s email addresses. Thank you again, Lauren, for your presence. 💕💞❤️
I’m glad you’re feeling a little better, and you’re very welcome. ❤
… Yes! Birth and Death, go together. … straight to the heart poem Lauren dear. . 💓
I lost 2 people this year and 2 friends of mine gave birth to 2 beautiful babies .
Thanks, Maureen, and I’m sorry to hear of your losses, but those little babies are a precious welcome. ❤💜
I was interested in your use of sanguine in the rebirth. I would have thought a range of personalities in that birth in general terms. Why did you choose that word?
The entire line, “new seeds bearing sanguine hues” to me means with new birth brings hopeful colors to life (all metaphorical). Sanguine just popped into my mind as a means for “hopeful.” 🙂 I hope this makes sense, Ian, and I appreciate your comment and question, too.
Yes, the circle of life continues to spiral. Never is it so evident to me than when I see my wrinkled 70-year-old hands against the smooth, soft hands of my grandbaby.
Aww, Michelle, it’s the joys of growing older, which is much better than the alternative. 🙂 However, watching our bodies change in the process isn’t fun. I’m noticing things, too, that I’m not thrilled about, but they’re out of my control. Sending hugs, my friend, and enjoy your precious grandbaby. xoxo
I had them this evening. So much fun! Love and hugs,
Glad you did! Love and hugs to you, too, and Happy Friday! I’m ready for it. 🙂
You’re awesome writing these Shadormas Lauren. And “new seeds bearing sanguine hues”
Ahh… there’s the beauty
Thanks so much, Scott! I appreciate your words and have one more to post for November. It’s been fun and challenging – always good to learn new things, right? 🙂 xo
Phenomenal
I truly love reading your posts from a month
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words and visits!
