EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Apr 1, 2010 #2Those are some nice ideas. I hope you will use your own ideas, though! The way to get ideas for this sort of thing is to ask yourself what you really mean to say. I am intrigued by the emotions you express and especially by the last part of the poem. I can help you come up with ideas by giving you a theme:In your next life you are some kind of minister, remembering your previouslife and writing about it for people who receive spiritual guidance from you. They are teenagers, and they are suffering with similar feelings. What can you tell them? Now that you remember past lives and see that everything is okay, everything is ongoing...We often discover that things are the opposite of how they seem: The world seemed flat. Material success seemed important. And it seemed obvious that everything was temporary, but... just like everything else, the opposite is true. Everything is ongoing in a way that depends on constant change, which makes everything seem temporary when, actually, everything just is what it is.So, start from there and fill in those lines in your poem...
