The Great Beyond

In the great beyond, we met once again
After a life on earth, we had just passed 
We looked at each other and smiled only
For language’s need, we had surpassed!

Dearest Darlene, the good thing about death is that he is the greatest democrat! No one is exempted! The worst thing, Homer, the ancient Greek poet said, is to be born and the best to leave this life as soon as possible! Being a philosopher myself I fully agree with him and Pythagoras and Plato and with our Christian faith that teaches us that death is not the end of life but the birth into true life! I leave you with the following though:Angel’s wings unfold/ Soul's anticipation mounts/ Paradise raptures!/ © Demetrios Trifiatis 09 NOVEMBER 2014
