THE ETERNAL RETURN

                    Let’s say then that my essence will survive
                    And I’ll have many rounds to be alive
                    Reincarnating for new challenges,
                   Just as the ancient Hindu teaching says,
                   Implying that I’ve come to Earth before,
                   A secret hid behind a mystic door.

                   So much, then, for the needless dread of death
                   When I’ll be here to draw another breath

                   Encased within another mortal form,
                   Another life that’s palpable and warm
                   With opportunities to meet with mates
                   From former lives, then altering our fates.

                        There’s naught to fear then in this cosmic game
                        As life by life relights our subtle flame.
