Wonderful words! Hi, JJ--What a great job you did with this little gem...The simple profoundness of the question is truly awesome. On a personal note, the question posed couldn't resonate more clearly, or be more apt; your poem absolutely strikes a chord right here, right now, with me, and I thank you.

Sincerely,
Lark

The picture is just perfect. I can appreciate the thought and wisdom of this adage but to me it is more like a quote then a poem. Nevertheless, it is well appreciated.

The meaning in this is that "there is" life after death - perhaps they are both telling us the same thing - will we know or do we wait until we get there - very deep and spiritual - nice one - very dark - take care - Fanlight

    I don't think you got it at all.
    We have to die to self to have a full life.

    Will go back and read again - it appears I got it totally wrong - sorry - it just seemed to say that to me - Jean

    Please don't be "sorry" different interpretations are ok. Just thought I'd clarify.

This is a very finely penned piece. Thought provoking and interesting. I love it when a poem stirs my mind, as well as my heart. This one did that. Hugs and smiles, Susanne

I like the way you bring the two different fortune-readers together, with their different takes and even varying levels sof respect from common cuture. The only thing I would suggest, and this is an extremely minor nit: I think the word "life" at the end should have it's own line, to add to the power and hte feeling of completion. "You were to/ experience/Could bring you/Life." Seems to have more of a punch, to me.
