In A New Raft Of Life Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

In A New Raft Of Life

Rating: 5.0


Perchance is death a deep unaware sleep
Bestowed to help forget what all had been,
And soul that must depart a date to keep,
Should soon, with a baggage of debt unseen,
Summoned when to heavenly firmament,
Divinity where sits in sole Judgment—
Day of reckoning to review progress—
Correcting course, Day of Judgment for some,
Soul standing trial, soul the sole witness—
And then return, back to a solar dome,
To pick up karmic thread whence it had left,
In a new life-raft sailing all alone—
To weave his life's fabric, warp with the weft,
A life set sail by destiny unknown.
_____________________________________________
Baggage of debt: With the body dead, soul must leave alone. But it has to carry the Karmic baggage, good and bad, subtle memories and sublime impressions in the unconscious deep awareness which accompanies the soul on rebirth, in a new raft of life— to weave a new karmic fabric.

A day will come and soul has to leave the mortal body, but he has to carry the Karmic baggage, good and bad, subtle memories and sublime impressions in the unconscious deep awareness which accompanies the soul on rebirth. A beautiful poem on death and life has been astutely portrayed.10
