Births and Rebirths

Reborn here now without baggage, morning shrieks open my first page, life to journey, burdens to load, through turmoils on treacherous roads! nude, small, no riches to engage, reborn here now without baggage, if wealth there was, no longer mine, and those I loved, of them no sign. memories of past in dark fade, but wages of sin are still paid, reborn here now without baggage, soul’s trial's in new body cage. can wisdom guide this life from hence? to break cycle of rebirths thence? past fortunes I built till old age, reborn here now without baggage. N/A 03/10/2021 Dawn poetry contest Unseeking seeker 16 lines, quatern 8 syllables each line PS syllable counter

Fortunately for us most of us do not remember our past lives. Yes like warriors of old we come back time and time again to fulfill the prophecy of wisdom, truth and final awareness. Beautifully written, gl in the contest, dear poet friend :)

Thanks Mystic! Eastern philosophy that many faiths do not subscribe to! I believe in the evolution of the soul.
