Poem Title:
Poem
1. On the bank of oblivion’s river A soul hastily arrives Wishing to cross on the other side Where eternity resides 2. Has been preparing for the crossing Since the first day of her birth But now that the moment is so near She is afraid of her death 3. More few moments she is begging For much better to prepare Before the Charon with his boat Her, to perpetuity transfers 4. Death however is adamant Since to delay he can not So he is reminding the soul That it is her mortal lot 5. With dread, she is now boarding For the trip of no return But surprised she is to find That this is of no concern 6. As the crossing is completed And the soul disembarks On the land of sanctified This is now what remarks 7. All worries and all burdens That she carried all along When imprisoned in the body In that place don’t belong 8. For the first time, she is sensing Real freedom in her being Such an amount of love and beauty This world has never seen 9. At an instance, she turns holy And with angels, she soars To the heavens of the blessed Where her creator adores! © Demetrios Trifiatis 16 OCTOBER 2013 *Reposted poem – in honor of our loving PoetrySoup friend and a personal friend, Lucilla Charillo, who died on 27th September 2014! Lucilla, we miss you already! You with God now! Rest In Peace! Here is Lucilla’s comment on “ THE CROSSING” Lucilla Carrillo Date: 10/16/2013 8:28:00 AM My friend Demetrios; I have been sad for the past few days, but this really made me cry. This is very heartfelt and touching to the soul. A - 7 and I loved this poem. Thank you so much and God bless you always.... Lucilla
