Reincarnation's Journey To The Divine

Reincarnation's Journey to the Divine

When I, among a multitude, watched
the gates of Eden's gardens close,
leaving the throng cold in their nakedness
and hungry for nourishment,
I cried out and you were my comfort.

When I lived among skin clad warriors,
who walked a land of bitter cold and icy tundras,
who died faster than lives could be formed,
I questioned and you were my answer.

When I starred across the bloody battlefield of Kadesh,
rifed with death, slaughter, and decay,
and later as I walked through the Valley of the Kings
and sat amongst the immortals,
I wept and you were my shoulder.

When I walked among the honored few
with slanted eye and katana in hand,
fighting in battles and waging war
for the honor of the imperial nation,
I feared and you, you were
my courageous heart and my cherry blossom.

When I was a monk upon a mountain's keep,
solemn in prayer and silent in thought,
I came searching and you were my deliverance.
You delivered me in life, as you had done for me in death.

And when I sat upon mesas
and walked the arid plains,
reaching out into the ether of the spirit world
for learning, teaching, and understanding,
to bring healing to my people,
it was then that I sought you out from within,
not by face or voice or name alone,
but by your vibrant essence to teach me.
I was your student and you taught me.

And when I danced among the
glitter and wealth of the privileged few who
surround themselves in opulent decadence,
where gossip was rampant and
the hearts of men ran cold and shallow,
I fancied myself a queen, and
you showed me the realities of a world at war.
And I knew shame as you taught me humility.

And when I was forcefully branded with numbers
and ordered to wear a six pointed star,
that said I was Juden,
that proclaimed my faith and that of my brothers,
I cried out and raged against you,
for I thought you had turned away from me,
but you heard my sorrow,
my tears, and my bitter anger,
and you where there with me always,
preserving my sanity.
And when the atrocities were over,
you were with me still.
I railed against you,
and still you renewed me.
I was angry, and again
you humbled me with your love

And now as I walk
a personal path of enlightenment,
seeking my answers from within, I know,
for the answers, the strength and the love
have been with me all of this time.
I sought truth and beyond
any narrow human perception,
there you were.

You sustain me.
You teach me.
You humble me.
You enrapture me.
So here I sit alone with my words,
and you, well you are hear by my side as well,
as it has always been and always shall be.

Just another journey along the road of reincarnation. But, in all honestly, it has been an wonderfully enlightening journey thus far.

What about yours?
