Decayed

“This world is but thought and thoughts fade away ~ Eternal is God’s love, that’s here to stay” ~ quote by poet Alive here on earth, what we know is this What is born, will die, suffering decay Though fleeting are moments of happiness We hope one day bliss will be here to stay Mind tells us we’re here for a short sojourn But heart assures there’s more to us than this Ceasing doubting, our soul befriends silence In timeless time we’re drenched in mists of bliss Yes, body decays and so does our mind Yet it’s but the vehicle we ensoul Oh worthy hermit, we are living light Made in God’s image, as scriptures extol Awake! Arise! That that dies, never was We’re here but to live, learn and smile awhile To share God’s love and light and so ascend Ambling along with joy, mile after mile Bilocating consciousness, truth is known Birth, decay and death is an illusion Likening earth life as a lucid dream Awakened soul is free from delusion

Nice philosophical poem. We were born to decay.

All that is manifest, decays. One day, this planet, the sun too will die* (*form will die)
