Afterlife

                                                 Will I be there 
                                     After I turn in to ash or dust? 
                                    And enter in to new utterance
                                    Far more subtle and subdued 
                                      Cosmic rhythm never stops
                                       Notes and beats change 
                                        One is never “no  more”

                                      Consciousness is eternal
                                  Changing shapes and forms 
                                    Content continues forever 
                                      As matter, space or time 
                                                    And me
                                         Diversity is the order 
                                                Not the end

                                      Soul and reincarnation 
                                   Are man made depictions 
                                    Rooted in mortal desires
                                        And greed for form 
                                  Nature is without exit door 
                                  I cannot escape continuity 
                                 What remains is always me

Life is not an end; it’s just a comma. Kishore, your poem is profound and deeply introspective. I really like it.
