Each role has been like a life.
The transition of roles have been
Smooth sometimes.
Sometimes as painful as
Death imagined.
A student’s life, a teacher’s life
A son’s life, a father’s life
A spoilt life, a disciplined life
A civilian’s life, a soldier’s life
A villager’s life, a small town life, a big city life
A hermit’s life, a yogi’s life, an indulgent life
An addicted’s life, a sober life
A reader’s life, a writer’s life
A famous life, a nobody’s life
From being a student celebrity
To being an anonymous soldier,
Worker, clerk, teacher, and leader.
An atheist’s life, a god fearing life
A believer’s life, a rationalist’s life.
I am so grateful that in this one life
I have experienced so many lives.
Still somewhere
Why does the mind harp on
That this life is not enough?
(Next post: one life is not enough – the paradox)

Ever wonder why our gods and goddesses have taken so many incarnations? We are only humans! I liked quaintly humourous and the wistful tone of your poem. I like how it’s the ethos of your blog.

When God’s take avtaar they descend from their divine status to be among us humans and animals. We can only look up to them, and have transmigration of our souls . Thanks for stopping by.
