My Answer

All matter is energy which can't disappear But Where does our energy go from here Our body matter is gone for good Where our energy goes is not understood Cycles create our universe And everything that lives and dies on the earth It only makes sense our energy cycles back Scientifically it's a viable fact The famous tunnel ending at the light Is the birth journey and the first sight Our energy returns but not the same We are a brand new person with and brand new name Our memories were stored in our brains When we die that does not remain If ten years ago your mother died She's a ten year old child somewhere alive There's no arguing with facts The person who died never comes back Just their energy in someone new You wouldn't know them and they wouldn't know you Science makes more sense to me Than believing in some maker we cannot see This is just an educated guess Of what happens after death Heaven and hell aren't real to me Nor are all the gods we never see Our higher power is within This cycle will go on until the earth no longer spins The people you've lost aren't in heaven or hell They're back on earth doing very well It's nice to think that when you go You will see all the ones you love and know The beauty is you'll no longer grieve Your new life is fresh for new memories Of course we will miss them while we're still alive But we too will restart a brand new life There energy has just been transferred And that is my answer

nice piece on reincarnation, are you Hindu, Buddhist? You explained your beliefs on the soul, quite well without even mentioning the word. While I take another viewpoint, I admire you for your talent in writing as you did. I like Pashang's comment below, we don't know anything, really. It's all done in faith.

You are right, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can change from one form to another. It seems that you're certain that the energy of a dead person will come to another person! There is Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger Probability function that deal with randomness of all particles. The more you learn, the more you understand, that you don't know anything. Thanks for stopping by..... Pashang

Hi, Tanis. Thank you for stopping by my poem with your great comment. I do see a lot of similarity in your well-written 'My Answer' poem, which I enjoyed reading very much. The only difference is that I do believe that God created all souls and they eventually return to Him at the end when the souls are perfected through many lifetimes. But your viewpoint on that is a solid one too! Thanks again, Sandra
