The Soul/H Ψυχη

A white butterfly on a flower.

For the Japanese the white butterfly represents the soul of the departed one, so I thought that it would be appropriate to post this photograph of a white butterfly for a friend who recently lost a loved one..

“No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.”-Euripides (Ancient Greek Writer 480B.C-406 B.C)

Many Mirrors/Πολλούς Καθρέφτες

Long MirrorsSurrounded by mirrors
On the streets
No passersby
Gazes at the looking-glass
Even the beautiful
Won’t gaze at the glass
Under the rays of the harsh day light
To avoid the truth
The frown that still lingers
A wrinkle that is permanent
The furrowed brow of anger and resentment
The reflection of a tear in the eye
But the glass doesn’t see the soul
Only the surface
It’s not a true reflection.
