Copper pennies closed the eyes. Hands folded casually on the chest. A new suit, ready for travel. I look upon my body - my vehicle. It had carried me through life; I had learnt almost everything - I had loved almost everybody - I had seen almost everything. I'd lived, I'd loved... I'll live again.
Poetry is my aeroplane 
Nicely little poem on reincarnation and what happens after a passing, or at least a chapter that has ended and a new one beginning. The world works in strange ways, and so does the heart and soul. We’ll go wherever we are meant to be.
Wishing you well this week, Andy. It was a very nicer warm 22’C weekend here in Melbourne 😃 But we are going back to cold again next week 😞 On the positive side, another month closer to summer 😂

One need not buy into the doctrine to admire how beautifully the poem and image express it.

This is amazing, Andy. In our holy book, The Srimadbhagavad Gita, it has been said, that reincarnation keeps on occurring until we are devoid of all our earthly desires. And, also, that our soul never dies, it just changes its case, that is, the body. Your poem reflects almost the same things! I’m really overwhelmed!!

Thank you Mani!! I believe in the circle of life and that we need to find our reason for being here, if not in this life, then in the next, so that we can move on – and while we are here; lets try to be nice to each other 🙂 I am trying to find an english version of the holy book you speak about – is Bhagavad Gita the same?

Yes, it’s the same one. You’ll find a number of English versions of the book.
And, I agree with your thoughts, absolutely… 🙂

Marvelous poem. I am following a Existential Well-being course at the moment and we get lots of reading material of various philosophers of the last century. The question I have for many years know “Grasping there’s a reason of the fact we are here , is it enough?”…still searching for the answer to that, but I am leaning towards the ‘just be’ more and more…Maybe there is not specific reason we are here?
At the same time, I still remember what my grandfather told me. He believed in reincarnation and said I am living my 9th live and almost ‘done’. At the time I didn’t understood it, but now I do…although I m not sure, I am almost ‘done’.
Anyway, rambling on again, haha…besides marvelous, also thought provoking, this poem.
