The voice of Lola


I heard a whisper that once  said 

When you are dead
In another realm 
When you ascend

If a sudden stranger comes up to you and says 

Thanks for looking after me 
When we both lived

And gives you a big warm hug or a sweet kiss on the cheek 

Don't be frightened 

It could be one of your pets welcoming you home

For all spirits take many forms as they evolve 

Why do you think so many people like jogging or walking 

Swimming 
Climbing or talking

Me 
I probably was a parrot in a past life

Before I fell under Soul Transmigration's sharp knife
