Life is a waterfall: <br />We're one in the river <br />and one again after the fall.* <br /> <br />We lived in the Otherworld <br />We're born, we live, we die; <br />We return to the Otherworld. <br /> <br />The souls who lived nobly <br />Are reborn into a higher consciousness. <br />The souls who wasted their lives <br />Are reborn into inferior forms. <br /> <br />That is the cycle: <br />Our lives are lived for better or for worse, <br />And we are repaid in kind. <br /> <br /> <br />*These are the first 3 lines of System of a Down's 'Aerials, ' the song that inspired me to write this poem.<br /><br />Shadigo Claws<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-a-waterfall-prose-version/
