I Transformed Into The Soil Again



I was created out of clot
of congealed blood.
I was created from a
sounding clay; from mud
molded into a shape!
I was sent, I was born
into this land;
from this mud;
from this dust,
like a leech.
This land I called it,
my home.
My home sweet home!
But as days go by
I forgot,
It’s an interim home
for all of us. I am
here for a brief moment!
And in these brief moments,
I eat what produces
in this land,
from this soil and
I live. And when
time comes I
tests the death.
Because every soul
will taste death! And After I
depart, they lay me
inside this same soil.
Slowly I merge
into the muds and I
become dust again;
like a sounding clay,
I merge into
the same land once
I lived. And
I transformed into the
soil again at the end.

    It alludes to a fundamental precept that nurtures my outlook on life philosophically, namely, "we are all one breath, from dust created and to God we all return". I love it. Kudos !

    I liked the symbolism of soil, clay and death and pertaining to how life withers and dies and goes back to the soil as it was taken. The reality of life itself how it is envisioned here.
