    Life

    The moment you die everything ceases

    The living cease for you

    And you cease for the living.

    Then what’s it that you live for?

     

    Few days into your death

    Your house is no more yours

    Your name is just a name.

    Then what’s it that you live for?

     

    When death has caught up with you

    Thoughts you thought etherealize

    Things you said become proverbs

    So what’s it that you live for?

     

    If death so unsettles you

    Then what’s life?

    You wish you could reverse it all

    To cherish more those moments

    That’s what you live for.

    This is realtive to what I tried to express in Across the Channel. "you can't take it with you"...as has been said throughout history. But, on the other and, there is something of our life here that we leave behind, so much more than survivor's inheritance. This confirms my conviction that true life is a gift from God, Almight and he calls us back to Him, in love, for eternity

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
