Soul's Karmic Journey

From a galaxy a million light years or more

Descends a created soul's birth through the earthly door.

All pathways delineated on life affirming oath

Ego self chosen for spiritual growth.

From babe to child and through manhood.

Pre-destined goals form, as they should.

Life based on love not anger bent,

Why down to earth divine souls are sent

A karmic accumulation of all we have wrought

Each trying to keep uppermost as each thought

Definitive matters and learning curves

To reach perfection is he who serves.

Striving to do more right than wrong

Solar plexus registers and makes us strong

As we approach our own momentous hour

We stand upright and never cower.

An enlightened soul body to be honed

Mightier than it's physical own.

Upon meeting it's earthly demise

A soul disconnects and upwards rise.

Up above earth's firmament ties

To friends and family waiting there 

 A life and death barrier of infinite care 

Spiritual advisors on a council sit

Prescribing over souls who do commit

To a law of perfection guaranteed

Only love aspired souls can reappear,

Amongst celestial realms, eternally for evermore,

No more dogmas, no  renewing, no returning through the earthly door.

For all who seek will be fulfilled,

Cossetted in a cocoon of bliss undistilled

Equally established in stature as the ancient Gods of Greece.

Vainglorious shuns to meritorious acclaim

Man transcends and proudly proclaims his name

Hi Andrea, I am pleased you enjoyed reading this poem. For the contest I had to edit a further 20 lines to the end. I wrote it several years ago and had reread it again in time for submitting it for the contest. Regards Theresa xx
