1 original, poem on the theme of
Musings on faith
Line of inquiry: Assuming reincarnation as valid, reborn in an new body (as is now), memories of past lives erased (as is now), in a different race and culture who worship God in another form, following different rituals, recognising this possibility as quite plausible, contemplate on our faith as we hold it today, what its basis is, how it can change in the future and if so, what then do we consider to be the ultimate irrefutable, unshakable, immutable, absolute truth beyond all scriptures, symbols, labels, definitions and metaphors?
Disclaimer: My contests are about addressing the line of inquiry primarily. Of course, poetry comes into play too provided the inquiry is investigated in earnest.
New poems only, minimum 10 lines, any form. The contest title is your poem title. Dive in deep! Enjoy!
Any form is acceptable.
