In a New Raft of Life

Perchance is death a deep unaware sleep Bestowed to help forget what all had been, And soul that must depart a date to keep, Should soon, with a baggage of debt unseen, Summoned when to heavenly firmament, Divinity where sits in sole judgment— Day of reckoning to review progress— Correcting course, Day of Judgment for some, Soul standing trial, soul the sole witness— And then return, back to a solar dome, To pick up karmic thread whence it had left, In a new life-raft sailing all alone— To weave his life’s fabric, warp with the weft, A life set sails by destiny unknown. _____________________________________________ Baggage of debt: With the body dead, soul must leave alone. But it has to carry the Karmic baggage, good and bad, subtle memories and sublime impressions in the unconscious deep awareness which accompanies it on its onward journey, in a new raft of life— to weave a new karmic fabric. _____________________________________________ Sonnets | 06.10.08 |
