Tombstones in the Cemetery

"Some believe they must earn a life in heaven.unaware heaven is already their home" ~ CayCay



Human life is striving for joy while saturated with busy
bits of an emotional seesaw, its movements leave traces
in so many places, our goal seems pre-disabled.  So, it 
is that despite emotional throes we seek fulfillment over 
and over.

As God's own designed, divine-honed souls, we are 
light sourced as formed in His realm.  Reincarnation is the 
tutorial for achieving the brightest possible spiritual light.  
To earth we are sent countless times, exposed to endless 
human themed rhymes.  We die, into heaven we slide, 
advanced souls review and guide us through all we failed 
to discern, all we taught - be it good or an influence 
incongruent with who we really are.  A karma is decided and
once again a soul is flesh ignited.  Once a soul has met all 
goals, the most radiant color is bestowed; the color of 
euphoric radiance star-shining for eternity.

How lovely and hopeful! A beautiful belief that must bring so much comfort with pain. You've expressed that in your usual pastel pops of pretty poetry! Pardon the profusion of alliteration lol... my mind is just in this place right now. I very much enjoyed reading this! Xoxo much love!

I do believe there is no one religion . My path has led me to believe love and belief in Jesus is the only way.

I remain unsure about reincarnation to this day but I have no problem with anyone's spiritual leanings. I am a babe in the woods feeling like a lost soul with little faith. I only know that God is light and love and I wish to feel that comfort as others do. I love your attitude here. Your quote and ending haiku are super cool.

I don't believe in reincarnation. We have one soul and what we do with it is important. However it is your poem and I find it very well written. Best for a win.

I know you don't believe as I do which is more than fine; it is being true to your feel. We do agree we have only one soul. It's the 'find it very well written' that means volumes to me. Thank you, Victor ... CayCay

A different bent on spirituality but a good poem! I like the quote…heaven is already their home, but I think of that as a reborn Christian…the day I gave my life to Christ, as the bible says, …we are seated in heavenly places…doesn’t say will be…bible is so,interesting. Anyway, that’s how I see it. Hugs and blessings your way, dear friend!

I am uniquely, individually bent - gotta be as I am with total respect for all people who have sought a relationship w/ God and have landed beliefs different from mine. As long as one seeks, that's all I care about. Thank you for your comments ... CayCay

Dear CayCay, a brilliant write! I love the image of souls being guided and refined in the spiritual realm, and the notion that our ultimate goal is to shine with radiant light. It's a beautiful reminder that our lives have purpose and meaning, and that every step we take brings us closer to realizing that. I enjoyed reading you today. Sending you love, Anne

Very inspiring- I believe it's something like a wheel, ....you should see the movie Anna and the King... Christians might only have one lifetime, is what she said....got me thinking, God does give chances...

It's a romance like you never saw before. "Anna and the King"- powerful, makes me shiver. See it. <3 :)

The king was saying Buddists have to learn through many lifetimes "nirth and rebirth" . Anna said "it's important to live...life is precious...especially with Christians, who have only one"

This has never happened to me: u and I exhausted 'reply' button w/ this dialogue so it left. Had a good time figuring that out & thinking what to do? I hope you find this. I don't know the nuances of the film, but it sounds like sarcasm to me. Would that go w/ her personality? CayCay .. if so, I applaud its delivery
