Afterlife
The Buddhists liken it to the
lighting
of one candle by another –
the original flame
up in smoke after igniting a
new flame
of the same fire yet totally
unique.
Consciousness freed from the
body
of every human being, still aflame
in transition as (per Meher) the
sanskaric remains
of one lifetime are further
spent and balanced,
then resurrected in the glow
of a new creation,
a subsequent other of mind
and flesh,
similar yet singular in its
arrangement and production
of unspent tendencies, emergences,
compulsions and veils.
O child of God, ponder the
afterlife
(if you’ve a mind to) once
you get there.
