Arrival and Departure

Life is a joyful ship
        that brings impatient tourists
        to discover the beauties
        of life...
        Death is only a vehicle
        that takes all these people
        back to destination
        source...
        If we so philosophize,
        we face the certainty
        that life is eternal
        and death is simple
        order fulfiller
        of the superior, the divine ...!
