Existence

EXISTENCE Tell me oh, Existence, Are you the mother of life Or Are you the child of death? Are you my dying life Or Are you my living death? Whatever you are though, your offspring I am Thus A complaint from me you would never hear For To you into eternity, totally, I belong! © Demetrios Trifiatis 10 DECEMBER 2013

That is so true, I especially liked the lines, "Are you my dying life/Or/Are you my living death?" I have asked those questions before in my own life, I don't know that there's a winning answer to those questions! I really loved reading this extremely exceptional poem this morning! What a fantastic piece, a grandiose poem, Great Work!!
