Death and Rebirth: All shades of love

Rebirth

Life spins like a record,

Though each one goes at its own speed...

From womb to tomb,

The threads of destiny are interwoven,

Like a macramé,

Where sins and good deeds lose their track,

And hang like ornaments...

Life soars freely in the sea of time,

Seasons turn like pages do,

History gets written by its own,

War sprawls like urban areas,

Though peace finds its place amidst human strife...

Scripts so loosely learnt,

Lies repeated to the point of having been accepted as universal truth,

Time goes by through our fingers like sand,

Bodies get corrupted and wrinkled,

Graves await us all,

Like the soil waits for the ripe olives to pay a visit and metamorphose,

Souls migrate constantly...

Death and rebirth chase each other

Just like a dog trying to catch its own tail,

Time whirls,

Happenstance so delicately balanced twists,

One day we are dying from a broken heart,

The next, we are high above the clouds,

Kissing some lips that taste like glory,

Stroking a body that feels like gossamer,

Making love to a man with sweet smile,

But with fire from the Hell pits right burning beneath his waistline...

Fragile weave of happenstance that brought you to my life.
