not of this world

a friend once told me a woman he was involved with
said they were not of this world

at the time he told me that I was probably in
my twenties

and thought in a way it sound kind of nice
like they were uniquely made for each other

and different from most people who seem to
be very much of this world

now with more years on me and more experiences
in life

I think the woman who loved my friend was right
but maybe in a way you had not imagined I would

for many the average time spent on this earth is
about 76 years of age, a blink in eternity

and if we live forever in some kind of afterlife
maybe none of us are really of this world

or if reincarnation is real and we are just here
for temporary lives

until we get off the wheel of rebirths
to me that would also suggest we are not really of this world
