Stripped of Self, the Soul Residing

Stripped of self, the soul residing
Ego shorn, here now [to be] reborn,  
Searching for new dimensions abiding
From eternal god-presence is torn.
Finding new existence in human form
Resurrected and renewed in purity,
Bringing what it values as a norm
Time and space, another life its destiny.
With a forgotten past ne’er to recall
Embracing the eternal Godhead spirit
In times primeval before the great fall
Listens for the inner voice, to hear it,
While experiencing lessons of truth
Then wills to live in spiritual solidarity
Hopefully, reorienting through youth,
Becoming more prepared for eternity.

Then, I wrote the first line and the rest just flowed.

You have reached the borders of cosmic consciousness! ~ Astral Traveler Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 7/1/2022 12:54:00 PM Well, gw, I don't know about that. I just wrote it last night as it came to me, and after reading it realized how metaphysical, in some sense, I must be. Thank you.
