REINCARNATED

Balanced on the edge of the Grim Reapers blade
As before my eyes, my whole life is replayed
That my good and bad deeds can be weighed
So judgment on my soul can fairly be made
Then plunged into Mother earth's pool of souls
Where memories are quenched like glowing coals
Purified and rendered back to an infants control
Then expelled from the astral plane is my soul
Reborn among the living given a second chance
Reincarnated to improve upon my self perchance
Growing and learning through life again I dance
Past pitfalls that previously tripped up my advance
A slow learner for dozens of lives I lived in a trance
A young child with an old soul I slowly advance
