Life

That moment
         When
         The soul
         Translates
Its
        Ethereal existence
        Into exploits
        Of the flesh
And intellect
       Erects
       A paradise
       In
The here-after..

Interesting take on Life Gerald, quite enjoyed it. Ps: I wrote that poem you suggested on Adeus.. not sure if that is what you had in mind.

Thanks Wilma. I read your piece. Very good. Instead of adieu at the end make it adeus!
