Why do we wait until old or frail before asking
the well-known inscrutable question of
whence we came?
Were we, before we appeared here on earth
some bright star who, aware of real needs,
chose this caring role ?
A heart showing love towards all will feel peace,
but does it recall the true and original state
it dwelt in back then ?
At times, the mind seems to sense when there
was no earthy form folding wraps around
each radiant soul.
Were we asked then to prove we could become
earth-bound and move when invited to spread
gentle whispers from angels above ?
As we see angel-roles and know heaven is not far
but near, when we do not forget who we are or why
we came here, can we remain true ?
If so we will know there is so much more work
for the causes of love in this sad lonely world
we can still do.
We must always aim as high as we can, but no one is perfect and the universe is infinite and contains unobtainable knowledge, we can only guess at what lies ahead and try to believe that we shall enter heaven eventually. Lovely write, I like the thinking in it!!!
