Where The Soul Never Dies

Nature, a reflection of our soul,

reveals the seasons of our lives.

Like people, earth's seasons teach us

patience, awareness, and encourage us to grow.

From the sparkle of sunlight in the doe's eye

to the sparrow elevated by the air below its wings,

the spirit of God is the source of life that fuels our spirit

and raises us above pain and sorrow.

Only the soul can travel to this place above the clouds

where we are lifted by the breath of God.

Here, the lessons learned in nature

disclose to us that dying is a transition into life

and nothing completely disappears.

Rather, we are transformed into another realm of existence

to experience the essence of living

where the soul never dies.
