The Need To Reveal Myself

The excitement for life
and the gratefulness
to be alive until today,
has made me forget
that  I have to die one day;
and wouldn't it be so incredible
to believe we'll be immortal?
Find that answer in your faith:
the stronger you believe in that,
the less you'll think about death!

The need to reveal myself 
as I perceive things as they appear...
has nothing confusing and clandestine;
if fate is controlled by actions either
bad or good...foolish, wise or undifined:
can we calculate how many days
we have left to live,and can we
foresee and prevent a calamity?

The need to reveal myself
is not a deliberate mockery 
of someone's else belief;
it comes from enlightenment
and a solid trust that is
harder than a rock!
