The voice of Lola


 The voice of Lola 


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
