We do not know for sure <br />But we have been here before <br />Many a lifetime, countless <br />At our inconsistencies we fret <br />Many births to take as yet <br />Let us face it! Be fearless. <br /> <br />What is it that governs all <br />That we should rise or we should fall <br />Are they not but our own intentions? <br />Emptiness, bereft of truthfulness in us we recognize <br />To fill it in we take on life our own size <br />We have chosen it! Us the Universe never shuns. <br /> <br />Of physical suffering, or emotional turbulence <br />Embraced all with complete acceptance <br />Fills us with a new found Joy that we will never be let down <br />Miracles are indeed in the making <br />Our mindsets if we become awareof it breaking <br />Be yourself, feel the Bliss, never wear a frown. <br /> <br />A woman or a man <br />A beggar or of a respectable clan <br />Imbibe in each role, new, rich experiences <br />None is high, none is low <br />Progress maybe fast or slow <br />Time and space is stretched to infinite expanses <br /> <br />The face of this earth many times has changed <br />For us all this has been arranged <br />We never cease to pay again and again our visits <br />Illusion so make believe, we forget our Karma <br />We give in to the worldly drama <br />Alas! Suffering is learning the hard way that we indeed are Free Spirits<br /><br />Bindu Vidyadhar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/many-lives/
