About This Poem

LIFE

LIFE 


Life:
An endless battle
Fought between the 
Temporal and the
Eternal,
From dawn till
Dusk, 
From the cradle to
The grave 
And
BEYOND!

    What powerful words of wisdom you have bestowed upon us mere mortals my friend! The mortal battle wages on and on, always going and seemingly never at end...then one day it ceases, as one ceases to exist, a grand day that could be! I believe you have presented this perfectly within your amazing poem here Demetrios! I loved reading this intriguing piece this morning! Wonderful Work!!
