  dedicated to Kit mcCallum...  (Thanx Kit for introducing me to this welcoming company ).

Here you are standing somewhere on earth
Present at some place upon the world’s map
Living a common life with a usual date of birth
And when you die… probably leaving the same gap

In a temporary life you were born for a temporary stay
Pressing your (Start) button… taking your share of breath
Funny you don’t know where you’re spending next day
When it’s previously known where you shall meet your death

Ain’t about life stuff… what should runs in your brain
Ain’t about water drops… the way to sense the rain
Ain’t about fire… what warms your night in winter
Ain’t about love and hate… the kind of thoughts to linger

Ain’t about the sun… your source of light and heat
You travel with your mind… better than your feet
The real beauty within you… ain’t about your face
Your photo and your prints… ain’t your single trace

You didn’t come to take things the way they are
You came to make a change and spin your fixed star
Do not let life leads you, you’re the master or the slave
Spend all the good you’re given, coz then it’s what you save

Expel your heart out of life… before your body crosses the gate
This world you have resided… but for another one you were made

this is an invitation for everyone to reflect in his life from the HereAfter point of view. to know the purpose behind his existance on this earth and what would become of him afterwards.

Someone who doesn't think about these ultimate questions will remain totally distant from truths and lead his life in self-deception and error. As a result, he won't grasp the purpose of the creation of the world. Yet, God has created everything with a purpose.

  ( eachone of us plays just a tiny role in this trickery play... so, just follow the instructions for a good play )

In the broadest sense, the reflection of your heart and mind leave indelible print on the universe...for it is your contribution to life that fulfills the purpose of your birth.  We are all called back to our creator in the end.

Thanks for opening this door.

What wonderful truths you have gifted us with.
Thank you and welcome to Passions.
