Life is a vapor
We are all a just breath away
From eternity
Saddened by the news of Kobe Bryant’s death today and also that of his young daughter.
We never know how much time we have on this earth, and today is a reminder of how short life sometimes can be.
Breath is a blessing
Our life is but a vapor
Thankful for each breath
Senryu
If you have ever lost your breath for a moment I am sure you can relate to this poem.
Having recently had an asthma attack that literally took my breath from me for a few seconds was very scary and made me realize how precious each breath I take is.
Life is short, breathe it in and give thanks for every breath!
Empty words
Have no meaning,
No purpose.
Floating phrases
Warming the air with promises
Dissolve in thin air
Shadorma
Life is a vapor,
Full of disappearing days.
Make a difference!
Leave your mark on society.
Seek to better your world today.
Tanka
