Life Death Ad Infinitum

Listen to poem:
Driving down the road of life. There is pleasure.There is strife. Walking through the trail of years. There are hopes.There are fears. Floating in the sky of dreams. There are whispers.There are screams. Sailing on the ship of fate. There is love.There is hate. GoodEvil HeavenHell VirtueSin For every yang,there's an opposing yin. From birth to death,so many twists and turns. From death to birth,we process what we've learned. It's all as simple as a circle's bend. There's no beginning.There is no end. Every coin is tails and heads. Every soul is life and death. One half shows.One half hides. We can't see the other side. Reality Duality Infinity Eternity

This poem is splendid! "Every coin is tails and heads. Every soul is life and death." This is so true; and so easy to see as you have written it beautifully.

Well, pretty well sums it up haha. No really, you fully and with obvious great thought presented the great Issues! Next week I am to have an operation I might not survive, so your poem reflects my inner churning lately. Your line, “From death to birth we process what we’ve learned”. Do you intend that to mean as we are in a creative state between lives?

First off,I hope you survive and thrive.Obviously I believe in reincarnation.We keep coming back until we "get it right",which is different for each soul. You might want to check out OOBE,one of my other poems.Many people have told me it has helped them deal with their feelings about life and death.Again, to quote Mr. Spock "live long and prosper"
