I've really been enjoying the monthly poetry challenges over at Fake Flamenco! March's challenge is to write a shadorma around the theme of light and darkness. I wrote two, because it was fun. 😊

Here's one for Graham, who I often call "my guiding star."   

You're my light
A star in the dark
Shining down
On my path
A guide in the deepest night
To bring me home safe

And here's another one, revisiting a poem I wrote back in 2020, called "Free Will."  It was already sort of composed around a theme of light and shadow, and it was interesting to take a look at it two years later and retool it for a specific poetry form.

We are light
And also darkness
Both reside
In us all
And we choose how they balance
Each moment we live

I'm looking forward to April's challenge!
