Crossing Over

The Wonders Beyond

By Earl W. PearlPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

A human conceived is a human eternal

Tho not all will enjoy their destiny

But we will live, indeed, live on

Because we have the ability to reason,

rationalize, and to, yes, consider

Yet, what is a thought

What material substance is in a thought

Is there a physical presence to a memory

When we pass, do thoughts and memories die

Consider the wind as it blows from west to east

Where does it go

So whenever the wind stops, does it cease to exist

Is it not still there

Is it not just, air

As such, it can be reasoned that the lives we are living may end

But the essence of our person lives on

Indeed, lives on
