The Voice Of Lola Poem by John Duffy

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
