" HEAVEN " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of cloud

If only men, Could devote a fraction of the time spent Maintaining their external beauty For To occupy themselves with their inner self, A better world we could have built, A world That would reflect, vividly, heaven's divine Duty! © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 May 2021
