Last Mirage of Love

Last Mirage of Love Is a dream afraid of stirring a child left sleeping through the day never to see the world that’s shinning or the fields where they would play. If I were lost you wouldn’t find me you wouldn’t think to search the fields and if I were found well then you would lose me you would be inquiring somewhere else. Is a smile afraid of giving too many tears left to cry a fairy tale with no ears to hear its telling of all the magic still inside all the time left waiting for the years it had in store and all the love left anticipating the promise of so much more. If I were wrecked you wouldn’t find me you wouldn’t think to explore the meadows and if I were unearthed well then you would miss me you would be far too busy searching another sea somewhere else You will never know what is breaking as these doors slowly close so many hours lost in hoping have now quietly buried my soul its a step that’s never taken a moment of dawn that never comes a sleeping dream that never wakens to feel the life of the newly rising sun And if I were here you wouldn’t find me you would not look for me in the orchards you wouldn’t think of where I waited you would search for me no place else and if I were rescued you would misplace me you would be out on safari looking for my shadow in the fields My last goodbye wouldn’t linger my last smile would finish my kiss you would not her me say how much I loved her to the sad and burning emptiness.

sinned. Romans 5:12 If all humans sin,then the logical conclusion is that all souls die. Does a dead soul know or feel anything? God's word says at Ecclesiates 9:5 the living know that they are to die, but the dead no longer know anything. he returneth to his earth, in that very day his thoughts do perish, Psalm 146:4 if the dead no longer know anything and their thoughts perish, how could they sense any torment in hell? i could go on and on just a little information and logical sense process, D

get bread to eat, until you return to the ground, friom which you were taken, for you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return, God's decleration gives no hint that any part of Adam survived his death, When Adam died, Adam the soul died, does any human posess an immortl soul, God told the prophet Ezekiel: the soul who sins is the one who will die Ezekiel 18:4 the apostle Paul wrote, through one person Adam sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all

what a sad and beautiful write, filled with love compassion and depth, you are right about one thing, mentioning your comments to Jhon Rhinem, how can I put this, a loving God has not and did not create a place of eternal torment, this is what some teach but it is not the truth, this was created to cause confusion and needless mental anguish, and it also defames God, who is a God of love, what happened to Adam and Eve was not eternal torment in hell. Genesis 3:19 by the sweat of your face you
