Ashes To Ashes---

Lost
truth
That life
is naught but
a sequenced pattern
that finishes where it began

There is a circle, that life revolves in and with Many of us feel the prescence, (some few of Us have met with that Eternal prescence) and so ? We are still human.. Still bleed still feel sad & Laugh F J.' yet know now' there is a forever Life.' and death is not..' For there is a Life that Is all.! for there is one that was and is and yet Is not' and there is One who was and is and is To come ' Amen and amen.)
