do not mourn the passing
of moi
I have existed always
the death of my form now
is the birth
of myself in another form
this metamorphous
like the course of life
infancy, childhood, youth
old age
the process repeats itself
over and over and . . .
in the end of mortal life
then he is
fit for immortality
everlasting is the charisma
which oversees
that which is never-ending
indestructible
is this ageless certainty
yes . . .
our bodies are corrupt
but never the soul

I couldn't agree more with you, dear Jerry. Your words ring true to me, though we don't know exactly how these things occur. The mysteries about life, death, rebirth remain mysteries, though intuition, faith, experiences, etc. try to lift the veils. In this dimension we seem not equipped adequately to understand everything.

I like your in-depth considerations.

Yeaaa! You understand about not understanding, Margherita, and that makes me happy. If you allow yourself to really try to understand this whole business you xan possibly wind up in the looney bin. But folks like us, shrug, and write a poem about it. Thank you . . .

That's pretty much what I believe, Jerry.

Interesting how easily some people accept this idea They should possibly feel something or remember, or guess from their dreams that it's about them. Do you feel it?
I never thought that I live (or will live) more than one life. And somehow I'm sure that if in this life I fail after all, I won't come back to try again.

I have come to think another life is a possibility, Gale. I guess that is because I know I getting closer t the death rattle. Appreciate your thoughts.
