What a reality embedded in this beautifully penned haiku dear Demetrios.uncertain timing of death but certain to come...no escape....i appreciate how secretly it operates.....and decides when to take away whose breath...a 7! For this truthful piece....love, Anu:-)

The emphasis my friend, Michael, is on the inevitability of death and the singularity of life. Thank you for your visit. So kind of you!

Oh...this is a sad poem, my dear poet. Every day we live is written in His book. Wishing you blessings.

Yes, it is sad but it is the brute truth. Of course, we have love, poetry, art to embellish our life but the brute truth remains. Thank you my loving friend, Eileen for your visit. Have a wonderful vacation in the country of which you love the language.
