POETRY
Legacy of Souls
Generations of lives lived are never forgotten
At time flows over the infinite universe,
Our souls go on and into Eternity traverse,
Like when the stars were first created,
Every twinkling star was a new soul born,
Breathed into life and human form.
When the universe came into being,
Souls were created by the All-Seeing.
When the age of nature and humans came,
Mankind followed for fortune and fame.
Man and Woman worshipped the stars and the universe,
Writing sonnets, hymns, and ghazals in verse.
Mankind created his civilizations on his canvas,
Breathing life into poetry about a blade of grass.
Mankind stepped into the shoes of Gods as Kings,
Demanding immortality from perennial springs.
Man and Woman in science strived to find,
The origin of the pure and universal mind.
Woman and Man using a pestle replicated life,
Cloning and gene splicing was done with a knife.
Till this day mortality remains an illness and a crime,
As the mortal body of man and woman die over time.
The one thing that will endure both time and space,
Is the journey of every soul from every time and place.
We are all souls on an epic journey on the river of time,
Trying to understand our existence in philosophy and rhyme.
We are souls who have lived a million years,
We are souls who have overcome all our fears.
We are souls who are travellers in time and space,
Leaving our mortal bodies to travel from place to place.
We are the souls who have sipped the immortal wine,
We are the souls who will sit at the banquet of the Divine.
This life we lead is the legacy of our eternal souls,
Burnished in the fires of the celestial coals.
Generations of lives, lived as mortals are never lost,
Their souls endure through the Ages of time and frost.
The lives we lead are a celebration of the Divine,
Quenched with the satisfying sip of celestial wine.
We are souls who have lived a million years,
We are souls who have overcome all our fears.
We are souls who are travellers in time and space,
Leaving our mortal bodies to travel from place to place.
We are the souls who have sipped the immortal wine,
We are the souls who will sit at the banquet of the Divine.
