My love should you die before I must go We'll not give grief any measured response For it could be me and we'll feel the same Life is not love -love's an eternal flame Life is but dust or chaff from the wheat Vaporous water or leaves in the wind And we're swept along in all times pages Yet our love remains confounding the sages More like the constellations is our love In timeless presence looking at the stars Sailing through the sky and all the ages Not confined by planets or by cages So death is not a morbid thought you see For our love will live on through eternity Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

I like your ideas about death. Love doesn't die just the bodies. This is how my husband and I feel about it. We said forever. Our essence will remain one. Earth bound union ceased.. |

Thank you all - every so often - such 'deathly' thoughts come by - and I cannot put them down without putting a bit of a positive spin on them |
