ROUND AND ROUND AGAIN

“Realizing that our consciousness is immortal would give us the assurance we need to experience joy in living and tranquility in dying.”  

—Ervin Laszlo

               How is it that mere matter grows to mind,
               Or are things quite the other way designed:
               Mind being perennial and giving rise
               To all above and all beneath the skies?

               Then when we die, our minds re-elevate
               To their primordial, perennial state
               Awaiting possibly another round,
               Another destiny toward which they’re bound.

                    And so mind cycles through eternity
                    Then manifests just now as you and me.
