What comes before birth, And after death? The unanswered questions of all times. Are our souls in a long deep trance Trapped somewhere unknown, Somewhere mystic, transcendental; Where the stars don’t shine at all? Our souls talk to each other, In this comatose world And maybe that’s why- That must be why 'déjà vu's happen. Even though you are so damn sure; You haven’t had an encounter, With this stranger you have met now, A tiny doubt Keeps on gnawing at you, "Have you seen him somepleace else?" Do you know why it is like so? It’s because your souls have met before. This trance is on forever, Filled with the same souls Over and over still, For the minute difference That it changes bodies every now and then For what are bodies But mere carriers of souls?
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
