Soul, divine and timeless, Endures beyond life's confines. When the body's life departs, Be it short or tall in its prime, Whether burned, buried, or decayed, Nature reclaims it all, over time. Skeleton, desiccated and sere, Moisture seeks the boundless sphere, Sky returns it to an earthly berth, In thunderclaps and rain's downpour, To endure its fate, a relentless chore, To bear the trials, the suffering sore. One soul, amidst endless blends, Karma's lessons, life transcends, In the end, a journey that mends, As the cycle turns, redemption lends, In the vast universe, our spirit ascends. ©"Vibharshi" Ranjesh Singh #metaphysics #Soul #Upnishad
