If Death Was the Only Truth

If death was the only truth-
I wouldn't have lived for years,
and my ears would not have come across all
these melodies.
My eyes wouldn't have wept for the beauty of aurora- 
the skin should not be touched by his touch- 
the tongue should not be spelling these prayers- 
if death was the only truth!!

Glad death not the only truth, Truth is, death will be done away with on EARTH when God's will is DONE on earth. This why Christ taught us to pray for this outcome. Are you writing currently? Just found you. bbn
