Eternity

Out of body, all Divine -- 
the mystic does not die to get there,
a life long relationship. Claimed. 
Who do we believe?~ (one who loves life 
deeply death will never deceive....) Poet.
------------------------------------------------------
Hmm...indeed sometimes lies -- and the heart can lie even when thinking truth...even the marriage vow, till death do us part (the priest his own Christian contradiction). No one really knows the deeper nature of the heart. Does it start with a beat of flesh? Or its own spiritual continuance possessing form whatever? Time will less tell than Heaven and Hell.

Oh yes dear Joseph! This is so philosophically richa nd very introspective, who is to differentiate between the truth and the lies? What is one's understanding of whatever is real and what is not. Sigh, everything is full of uncertainties, when we can't even predict our very next breath ~ "and the heart can lie even when thinking truth..." That's so incredibly deep! And soul-stirring! Such an insightful write, with such emotional meaning and I love that ending too! sending you starlight, and best wishes 🍁🍂💫

Hi Hiya; thank you so much for really delving into this work. The heart is a mystery unsolvable I think.
