Womb To Tomb


         New life from womb to pass 
        through childhood and youth
      and then with time merging 
       to serene seniority
      or premature end at any time 
       facing ruthless truth.
       Or inevitable death to meet 
       after attaining maturity !
       Anyway ending in tomb.
        

       Sense of awareness more or less
              achieved at last phase,
               Source is introspection !
               All preserved and reserved
                   treasures of heart
                   are destined to be left
                   at end of journey of life.

        Yet last console of soul
         is the wishful realisation:
              Reincarnation,
              not extinction.
