Somewhere There

Posted on by Reena Saxena

The body loosens its grip on struggling organs, and what we call death is but a shedding of cells. The soul, lighter than starlight, drifts beyond the familiar orbit of grief. Planets hum in their silent revolutions, each a reminder that endings are only pauses in a greater rhythm. Saturn’s rings shimmer like gateways, Jupiter’s storms swirl as if to stir new beginnings.

The spirit steps across constellations in my imagination. It is no longer bound by the weight of sorrow. Instead, it evolves into a radiant version of itself. The galaxies do not mourn; they celebrate.

Stars flare in welcome, their brilliance a chorus of renewal. To dissolve into the cosmos is not to vanish, but to become—expanded, luminous, free.

Somewhere there exists
a brighter self among stars
planets sing rebirth
