LIFE CAN END IN BLINK OF AN EYE

A breath, a breath of wind,
a feather driven by it
advances inexorably
driven to and fro,
but with a clear destination.
A light and quiet life
that although it was hard, it can
terminate in a single
instant, like a bubble
of soap.
Our thread of life
may end up on the razor thin
of the
and be judged.
We are only human
we are granted free
will
but it is not granted the day and time
of our death.
This will prove to be a right time
but with immense surprise
because it can happen
at an age
or a previous age
youth
nobody knows.
What is certain, however, that
death
will come as a life at the same
moment can be born.
The afterlife you can not
perceive
and then we
we go back to our
actions that will echo through the centuries to
come and try to guide the
alive frequencies
offset beyond our earthly life.

Marco Samaritani Comacchio '85
