Oh, heart, I the ignorant say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower perishes, but the seeds remain. This is the law of God.

How Vulnerable And Defenceless Man Is
How vulnerable and defenceless man is
on the ways that we daily go,
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul
always busy with the details
that is beaconing his way in life.
How vulnerable and defenceless man is
far too easily hurt by his fellow-man
like a flower that far too easily whither and perishes,
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul
in the short scope of the earthly life
days and nights continue on and on.
How vulnerable and defenceless man is
too sentimental for every unfulfilled wish,
sometimes irresolute about the choices that lie before him,
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul
too easily wounded when somebody curses him
if he has got to take notice;
how vulnerable and defenceless man is
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul.

Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend.

The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains.
The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.

Seeing The Latest Picture Of Jojo
in America
Jojo has no choice but
to become
a man
no one cares for him
and so
he must care for himself
lest
he perishes finally
and without any significance
even
when he inhales
his last breath

When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.

A Special Night to Remember
Deep in these shadows where the creatures of the night love to hide
and howl at the moon,
and suck the life out of the living,
on the hunt and prowling for you.
These children are demons,
and they have already clawed out my eyes,
you're stuck in a graveyard now,
the tombstone behind you carved with my name in it is where I died
a thousand years ago,
this very night.
As the zombies eat your flesh,
you notice you won't survive,
and away your soul goes as your heart stops and your life perishes
on this very night.

Soul’s relation to body
I love you; who is ‘I’- soul or body?
I won over your heart; you stole my heart.
Heart- do we mean the corporal one?
Soul, the fire, catches the body, the wood.
Soul to soul and body to body, no love sparks.
Soul in body loves soul in body.
Souls or bodies exclusively love not.
Soul and body are not like air and balloon.
Soul and body is like heat and body.
