The Greatest Mystery
by Richard Randolph

The Greatest Mystery

Life is the greatest mystery of all,
a strange, magnificent blessing
that came from no one knows where,
and no one knows how.
Like many unexpected gifts,

A Mid-night Reflection on Life and Death
by Gangaram Bhattarai

When body dies;
when flowers shed;
when the cosmos dines;
when the sun fades-

For the last time/Востаннє ((in Ukrainian)
by Halyna Myroslava

і він видихався
ця швидкість була не його
і плутались кроки
і серце стискало без жалю
ховалося сонце лягаючи в очі на дно

You Can't Outrun Death
by Jesus Betancourt

Throughout history snake oil peddlers were around
Trying to prolong life selling a remedy
To this date none can be found
So keep running to reach your longevity

Distribution/Розподіл (Ukrainian)
by Halyna Myroslava

Коли
сизою пеленою
заволочене яйце ока нового світу
викотившись із темряви
теплого гнізда
на світло
повчитись бачити
барви
одну за одною у білому
РОЗЛУПИТЬСЯ
