If life has a motive or a goal,
It is to come out with the soul.
Perhaps whenever a person takes birth,
He /She has a certain amount of life,
With which he/she comes to earth.
And this life comes out and spreads,
Through good thoughts, words and deeds.
But stays inside and depletes,
When we sow evil seeds.
When a person gives out all his life,
And nothing is left in his body.
That person is not dead,
As his life exists as a memory
Of all he did, thought and said....
