this is not the first time
I have been here
eh . . . a different body
a different time
sometimes when my mind is at rest
I get flashes
of my what went before
usually this happens
when the moon is blood red
we are born
death is the next cycle
some say
there is perfection during loss of life
we are reborn
through the
implosion of the cavity’s
nothing located
within the mindset
it is all created for us
with seventh heaven its final goal
reincarnation rehabilitates
re-birth to carry on, to keep on

I've often pondered the very same. You need to talk to my brother. We've been up too late on too many nights for older men.

Ah! I hear you on being up so late, Redstart . . . I've mastered the art of going to bed at a somewhat sensible hour, me and my two glasses of cheap California burgundy and my my nightly medication.

Certainly one of the many roads people take to find a reason for living and to discover 'why' they are. The doctrines are endless, like the shelves in a shoe store. We go for style and fit and lose ourselves between the two. So, hopefully we settle for a 'pair' before we tip over. They'll take the shoes off when they slip us into our coffins. Metaphors are like semaphores, 'ya gotta know when 'ta stop.  

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

I have heard that we come back connected to the same people but they play different roles in our life and can be the opposite sex. Imagine that! ~L

Imagine that is right, Lori. I have to believe, we will comeback as someone, either ourselves in another body, or . . . Don't know. When you are discussing "coming back," it is conceivable we could come back as the opposite sex. Why not?

Sorry, Elizabeth, for missing your comment. And you could be exactly right when you say, "gain a little bit more, for the next time around." You betcha!
