the personification of Love in the physical world --- Jesus Christ

I’ve heard others talking as if He were dead,
But He rose to give life to others instead.
I’m only one, small it may seem,
But He died and He rose my life to redeem.
And likewise, for you He was crucified,
Don’t make it for naught that He died.
Accept His offer, redemption of sin,
And the Spirit He left us will live within.
For He arose, a place to prepare,
He went ahead until we get there.
Eternity awaits us, to praise His name,
Through Jesus our Savior we stake our claim.
The Father has blessed us by giving His Son,
Over Satan and evil our God has won.

How can we seriously explain
that life begins and ends
if it always continues...
Eternal life exists I know
that because there
is no eternal hell
We are born but we never die
as life is eternal and continuous
Let's seek infinity forever

Nature's magic crept up and covered hills
ethereal wooded and grassy frills.
Earthly soul swore its love touch approvement
of the intriguing breeze-pushing movement.
The wind drew in a deep breath listening
and clinging to the infant's christening.
Ball of light emerged, linked to its living,
for vast boundless eternal life-giving.

When Christ comes He'll bring real life
gone for good, the sting of death.
His power and peace cleanses the strife,
Life eternal with His Holy Breath,
pluck the day while it is ripe; get engrossed.
All unmerited on our part,
by Christ the victory is won.
His death and resurrection starts
a journey with the Holy One.
Seize the day, live life from pillar to post.
Life that begins by our free choice
indwelt by His Spirit holy;
we listen daily for His voice
which leads us to gates of glory.
Smell the roses before they become toast.
Heaven is real, I can hardly wait
until our good Lord's will is done.
God's calendar will not be late;
timing revolves around His Son.
Carpe diem, live life to the utmost.

Life and Death
Life and death, both one, don’t care, but life isn’t a couch
I know my life is finite, maybe, maybe infinite, but all is one
It comes from the only One and goes far, disappears,
but continues to arise
Live, life goes on, my heart is ticking, blood rushes in my head;
sign of end
Life is mortal, let the end be my new life, and my soul forgotten
My life and death are one, my soul soared, and the depth of my hell
is endless
Death and Life
Friends?
Are they friends?
Enemies?
Are they enemies?
Playmates
I am one of them, but both
Good friends
They are good mates
I love and respect them
Long life my death!
Viva my death!

White Diamond Bellflower, shiny marble lady
Dance with me in the cemetery, in the world of death
You are a transparent marble, a beautiful creature of my mind
Just dance and dance, otherworldly music is playing, it comes from my heart
I left the human life, I left my life, give me your hand and live in my mind
Be a part of my fantasy, it never dies, dance with me in the universe’s mind
Be a dancer in my sad soul, in my tired heart, give me a life, give me your life, be my heart
Put life into my dead life, I want to be your garden, be my flower in the garden of my forest park
Diamond Bellflower, I hear your chords, I hear your singing, I hear your sigh, I hear the beating of your heart
I won't keep you forever in my heart, I close you into my heart, in the safe of my heart, You are my diamond, your heart is the light in my mind
Show the way in my blind life, be my eternal light, please, stay with me, touch my icy heart,
glacial blood flows in my heart, my soul is a steel cold mind. Be my forever shining sun, Eternal Flowerlight

I am Vilmos from the past, but a projection in the present past life
Oh life, oh my only life, oh my lost love, oh my withered desire
But I am still alive, live for the life. Life is my commander, friend, and desire
Love is nothing. My feeling is everything. More than love. I don’t need psychology
I don’t need English psychology in my life. I want pure life, I want to be healthy, I want God
I want my life, I want the life of God, I want nature, I want to be clean, and I want others. Children’s life
Come to me. I will kill your life. And you will live in my life. Come and get my life, be my mate in the life
Our life is different, but we will be the same. I live in the light, my ruler is the light. Oh Satan, please be my mind
I am evil, I want a saint woman in my life, make me right. Woman, be my part, be my driver, be my ruler, get my life
Get my life, understand my life
Feel my heart, give life to my heart
I want to be your bed, enjoy my life

Walk in the cemetery (Butterfly is Honeyfly or Wasp?)
Honeyfly, do you know how my times I walked in
that cemetery?
I found a lot of interesting things there. The dead live.
Live. They talked to me
One of them always followed me to Wembley to my home
A deceased priest
He needed to help me. He said often, no woman, please
please, just write and write (He gave me so many ideas)
He lives there centuries ago, that cemetery is a gate
between life and death
Go there. Go there, please. My priest waiting for you. We are
mortals. Do you want to live?
With eternal love,
Demon Vilmos

Rest From My Labors
by Lanier Thomas
I’ve been acquainted with war and violence
And escaped, me thought, to a land of silence.
But war followed me and gave me no rest, hence
I must meet, face to face, war’s dread countenance.
I will have no peace till my foes lie in death;
No rest, till mine enemy spends his last breath.
I bid my love goodbye and shoulder my pack;
Pick up my gun, knowing not if I’ll be back.
I’ll love you beyond the valley of my death;
I will wait for you where love ever liveth.
But God will judge the right of what I have done,
And I’ll dwell in the eternal land I’ve won.

recognising that organic form will perish
and the thought of eternal life we cherish
we set out to explore if this could be true
which scriptures affirm if grace we accrue
enabled provided we stop the flow of time
in tranquil silence attuned to love's chime
essentially requiring that thoughts be still
in effect choosing to surrender egoic will
and so when imaginary identity fell away
we saw the absolute truth as clear as day

God, my Father,
Healer of my soul
Blessed redeemer
The One who makes me whole
Pour out your joy, your peace
Your grace, hope and love
Pour out your wonders
On the inside where You are
Living, providing my heart
With a sense of serenity
A promise of life’s blessings
Assurance, salvation, direction
Where they abide, inside,
There, I know that You prepare me
For the pain and despair, the darkness
That tries to cover up my hope
In clouds of doubt and disappointment
But I know, dear Father…
That I can be sure of Your blessings
Scattering the clouds, the pressure
The stress, anxiety and fear
So that I only need to hear….
The winds, silent as the affection,
That penetrates my soul
Awakening the joy that grows
Erasing pain and strife
Reminding me that eternal life
Will soon be mine!

Eternal Life
By Franklin Price
03/26/2022
Eternal life is not a passing thing
It's here with us to stay
It's waiting at the end for us
Not about to go away
The choices that we make while here
On Earth while we're alive
Will let us see eternity
Heaven or Hell, when we arrive
Satan's always after us
Always here, and standing tall
Offering us most everything
Temptation at his beck and call
No rules, or laws to guide us
On the way to Hell, it's clear
We ourselves are all who matters
When the devil's got our ear
If we want them, he will give us
All the treasures here on Earth
Or we may look the other way
Look to God for our rebirth
Believing that our Lord and Savior
Sacrificed his son that day
On a hill upon a cross
Will take believers' sins away
Take up the banner of the cross
Follow the footsteps of the Lord
Apply the Golden Rule in life
It is a rule we can afford
When we're doing unto others
As we would have them to us do
We are following the path he trod
Which is the best for me and you
If we believe, we will receive
A seat in Glory by his side
And eternal life in Heaven
Where on golden streets we'll ride

At one time or another,
We can all make peace with who we are,
In connection with our Father,
And our Elder Brother,
Tying us together in the softest bond.
At one time or another,
We find ourselves in love,
With an earthly sister or brother,
With whom we can share forever,
And never be the same together.
At one time or another,
Our lives take on a whole new purpose,
As we begin living for others,
Brought into our family through birth.
They are excited and ready for the world.
At one time or another,
We begin to feel the weight of age,
Creeping in ever so slowly,
Like the foamy edge of a wave,
Leaving wrinkles in the sand so gently.
At one time or another,
We are left to begin again,
In a sweet reunion,
Leaving loved ones behind,
To greet familiar ones on the other side.
At one time or another,
We are all at one again,
Back with our Father and Elder Brother,
To behold our precious Heavenly Mother,
And have an ultimate reunion, which lasts forever.

Eternal life with hope-delight
comes from the Lord of mercy’s might
infinitely midst His love rays
glowing bright for triumphant days
to vanquish attacking death fright.
Basking in blissful worship light
my faith ascends toward praise height
grateful to share along life’s race
eternal life.
Now enjoying God's truth and right
of infinity to peace flight
I daily seek the Saviour’s grace
while reaching-out at divine pace
declaring Gospel, gift so bright…
eternal life*
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
