In Simple Words

one day this organic form
which in truth is but dust
for the moment seeming alive 
owing to influx of God’s breath
will return back to Mother Earth 
the elements it borrowed
to shape this human vessel

our soul which dwells in heart
gathering experiences granted
will then carry back to heaven
memories of tears and smiles 
by our identity so generated
which reviewed from lens of love
we look at seeking redemption

knowing now that all souls are one
cleaved from the fabric of God
although there is no judgment 
we cannot help but seek to repay
the debts of love which we owe
for we are yet in feeling of separation 
and so unable to forgive ourselves

the misconception that we are ego
separate and distinct from existence 
creates a need within our pure heart
to act as a doer in resonance with love
thus causing repeated reincarnation 
until residual identity too drops away
whereupon all that is, is the light of Self

this Self of which we speak is eternal
it is this that is made in the image of God
so unless we embody this awareness
the true purpose of earth life yet awaits
and love in love with love employs no force
so it waits endlessly for love to awake
but our desire creates endless dreams

the coordinates of reference are now known
destiny is reaped as of seeds by us sown
when truth imbed is gradually assimilated
our reflex instincts honed and synced with love 
the will of God and us then becomes one
and we then co-create on earth as is His will
that earth too becomes equivalent of heaven

A different perspective in some ways thank what I've experienced or am aware that I've experienced. Your poem has given us a good explanation of reincarnation, and a reason that we my return to the "Earth school". You've given us something to consider as we formulate our individual beliefs on the subject. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry, my friend. Bill

What is your direct experience, Bill? In my case, I don’t subscribe to any belief system. Beliefs depend on culture and conditioning and as such, only addresses lower mind, whereas direct knowing is in heart, definitive and indelible.
