Why was I born?
Where would I be if I had not?
--Wandering some unearthly plane
waiting for the "accident" of birth to happen?
To what purpose do I exist?
Why must I eventually die?
Where will I go after my corporeal demise?
--Perhaps to wander some heavenly realm,
waiting for my rebirth to occur?
But should I be born again,
who would I really be?
Though the shell be different.
the soul will always be me.

I come and I go.
I am and I am not.
I wait and I wonder.

In my first life I was a cloth
Dusting things and wiping off
Table tops and antique things
Polished silver and diamond rings

Then I died and ended up
In some nasty garbage dump
Resurrected by some old hag
And here I am, an old Toerag!

Earth Angel - I wonder these things too, who would I be? Many thoughts and questions, perhaps not to be answered...

*Nancy now has thoughts of 'Many Lives, Many Masters' in her head*
Love these thoughts Linda...
I have been told I have a heavy Karma..
an old soul who just can't 'get it right'.
Sooo...I'll just keep coming back bothering the same people...LOL.
And improving my writing.
Love these morning thoughts.

The question is as old as man.  To me you were born to write nice things about my poetry. And that reason is good for everything you encounter. In other words you were born to be Earth Angel.

Enchantress--

Dr. Brian Weiss has definitely made his mark with his book "Many Lives, Many Masters". A timeless book on reincarnation.

One of my past lives has been absolutely born out as fact and believe you me, it is a fascinating story.

Yes, enchanting one, you are an old soul--and a very dear one at that!

~ Keep on working off that karma! ~

P.S. It may be because you are a brave soul that you took on so much in this lifetime!

Mr. T., with all humility, I thank you for
        your kind and gracious words.

Now I can't stop smiling!....Oh, no! I just looked in the mirror, and there was this big round yellow smiley face looking back at me!

I have asked myself these questions soooo many times. To this day I don't have the answer. But, I know the answer for you. You are such a great asset to so many people. Oh, and one more thing! You were born so I could have the pleasure of meeting you. and

This is an interesting approach to life in general, makes one wonder LOL  Like this

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Karilea--

That is so true! There are no identical fingerprints. It's curious that you wrote that because I was up most of the night studying (what else is new?) hand analysis (believe it or not, one of the over 400 subjects that I have studied to varying degrees). I am fascinated with all that can be revealed in one's palm---health, abilities, strengths, weaknesses... Our prints are like a "blue print" that we are born with into this lifetime.

~ Have a wonderful day! ~

Hi angel, I like the poem.  Do you suppose everybody is reborn again and again? If I have had previous life experiences, I hope I was having more fun in them. This one is working me to death.  Thanks for sharing

First let me say that SmartChick nailed it
right on! Second, Toe loved the reply.

My, my you've got everyone thinking.
I can see I'm not the only one that thinks this is a fascinating topic. I have been studying past life regression therapy. (I'm a Certified Hypnotherapist) and prior to the number of sessions I've experience with others I didn't give past life much credibilty. However, my tune has changed because I have seen first hand people regressing to lives and senerios that would be incredible to make up. Great poem. Good questions to ponder.

So glad you're here. In this vast universe isn't it interesting to think about the various minds linking all of us to this websight at this time, in this space?

SimplyGold--

Thank you! Here I go again having to pick myself up off of the floor! hehe

I see you are a hypnotherapist. I find it a fascinating subject. I've been looking into courses on hypnotism. That would be a wonderful added tool to my nursing/alternative health practice.

Yes, the coming together of minds in this forum is a wonderful thing!

P.S. I'm glad you're here as well!

Have a great day!
