Karma, Sept Challenge - SQ/Sonnet Options

[Larry]

1st Revision (hope it's the last too!)

Karma

Upon the scroll of time a legend lies,
inscribed as if by Winter’s silver rime,
which maps the past or tells of our demise.
A legend lies upon the scroll of time
in shadowed script. A swirl of pinnate lines
portray a path from womb to marble crypt:
Arcane calligraphy of Fate’s designs?
A swirl of pinnate lines in shadowed script
like veins within a leaf, our lives construed.
Portents of birth and death, or joy and grief
revealed; like dregs in cups a Seer brewed.
Our lives, construed like veins within a leaf;
or so it seemed. Of Karma I once dreamed…
Of Karma I once dreamed or so it seemed.

like veins within a leaf, our lives construed.
Portents of birth and death, or joy and grief

Our lives, construed like veins within a leaf;
or so it seemed. Karma’s what I once dreamed…
