Birth or death
are images in truth
starting with a wet cry
ends , just, in a dry cry.
Life is the spell
between the two ends
and rebirth or no birth
depends on your account of performance
If credit and debit can be balanced
with your entries of punya [virtue]and papa[sin]
and the ultimate result of this account shows nil
you are once for all null in life's cycles
Attaining the salvation is aim of all
achieving nirvana is the desire of the soul
Light of life is unchaining the bonds,here
and all the apostles are welcoming this new entry into heaven.

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Desire of the soul-------------
This piece tugged at the Heartstrings for some reason I kept seeing a pool...
like a pool party
but through this...hearing: long lost friend
Like a connection or reconnection that was not there before...hearing word: bridge...
like gaps bridged...
read this several times and seeing the same images
These lines grabbed and pulled~
If credit and debit can be balanced
with your entries of punya [virtue]and papa[sin]
and the ultimate result of this account shows nil
you are once for all null in life's cycles
Fantastic take on the prompt~
Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love~ Desire~*~

I especially love the ending of your verse, that crowns your insightful and enlightening lesson of wisdom with a touch of compassion ...
a great homage to the mantra :
asatoma satgamaya
tamasoma jyotirgamaya
mrityorma amritamgamaya
om shanti shanti shanti
lead us from ignorance to truth
from darkness to light
from death to immortality
om peace peace peace
