What a well crafted and intelligent poem. I confess that these lines knocked me to my knees--'It isn't Death that laughs like a raven upon the scarecrow of your existence'

It's Life that slipped away while you were making theories about living. are you writing about the life of a priest. priests have a tendency to philosophize since they have to preach every sunday. it is true. live and do not make theories.tony

Clever anecdote about the dangers of detached dissection and analysis of life.

Indeed! If you let life slip away, it comes back to haunt you like a portent of doom. A crow does not fear a scarecrow. I like the aphoristic style.

An observation most significant. When life is in front of you, you let it slip through your fingers. Dear Kostas, all your poems have powerful messages. Thank you for sharing.

Death is not the real threat, but time that slipped away unnoticed while we were so engrossed in planning how to live. A very concise and epigrammatic write! A sure 10
