I will always return
What is life?
what is Death?
Why are we born
Why do we die
Can we stop ageing
Can we stop death
Is immortality possible
Tree of knowledge do we know it
Tree of life do we know it
Is there purpose to life?
Or are we born to die
Do we come as we go
Are de we grow, learn
And mature in each birth
Like rings of tree that grow with each year
Picking up knowledge with each birth
Burning immaturity and darkness in every life
Is every life the same
Is every path the same
Can medicine break this life and death cycle
Is it ever possible
Has it not been the quest for man from time immemorial
But have we not as our life expectancy increases
Prone to more disease, sorrow and pain
Are we running in circle
Or are we growing in sphere
Up and up with every ring
To reach to sky to be part of eternity
What is life
Is it mundane living, eating, running to earn a living
Or is there more to life
Is it not what the philosophers spent time
Did they find something that is beyond us now
If Death is the road to awe
Then what is life
What defines where we are born
What we do and where we go
Why is that some traverse hard path
Other have it easy
Like musical notes that rise and fall
Like waves that have ebb and flow
Is there a pattern to life
Death and life are two sides of the same coin
For in death life is reborn
Death of ignorance is life of knowledge
Death of toddler is youth
Death of youth is Adult
Death of Adult is Old
Death of Old is start of new era,
Death of seed is start of a tree
Falling of branch is blossoming of new life
Change of seasons is death and life
And death of night is birth of day
For billions of stars die
Billions of stars born
Each by coming together and going apart
For each has its time
For time is the ultimate winner
