Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Glorious Flight

Hush, my weary soul, hush!

Listen…, 

The angel’s trumpet has just sounded, signaling 

Our turn has finally arrived!


Come, my sanctified soul, come,

Now is the time for us to separate:

Me to linger behind on pastures well known

And

You, at once, to begin your glorious flight and soar
 
To blessed heavens 

Where

Eternity, anxiously awaits, you

To embrace!

Anne-Lise Andresen September 25, 2015 at 12:33 PM - A beautiful poem, dear Demetrios ! - Not often you write free verse, this is a heavenly pleasure :) - (7) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis September 26, 2015 at 5:10 AM My dearest, Anne Lise, thank you for your support and appreciation. Yes, it is true that I use the laconic writing as I get older. For me it is important to, rather, pass a message than to impress. My older poems were longer, some two or three pages long, now I do not write long poems for there is a possibility not ...to live long enough to finish it! Ha-ha!
