Death of a Believer

DEATH OF A BELIEVER The death of soul steals slowly through the years the fog of mind that's never known to be; brought on by laughter, love, and hate and tears the fate of all that few can ever see. It brings the withering of life, and all its leaves, once green and shining in the morning sun, now setting on it all, in evening grieves for lack of interest in what life has done. Compassion leaves the mind, once fired and prime and old and tired now beats the heart we knew life now mundaned by passing of all time, there's nothing left the heart would like to do. Dear hearts, you're numbered to your final breath and no one cares for all your sweat and tears, your rest is not until it's done in death, but keep the faith in what you've done for years. © Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet

Many areas for deep consideration. Gen. 2;7 defines the souls as us. We become a soul. Not given one. Safe or not safe to keep doing what always done? Enjoy your style
