A dying life or a living death ...

Proverbs 12:28 28 In the way of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.
 

A dying life or a living death

 

What man can live and not see death ... but will he know the difference?

What does it take and where the end ... at the beginning of the 1st hindrance?

 

Is it in love where life resides ... is it in pride that death is staring?

Is it in flowers that life thrives ... is it in envy that death is flaring?

 

Is it sacrifice to give your life for a friend ... as death proclaims this useless?

Is it to give from self without end ... that death strains the self-fruitless?

 

Is life only seen through the Spirit ... and death is noticed that way?

In life there is no temporal ... in death a constant nullifies the days

 

In Life only truth survives ... in death lies rule without ceasing

In Life compassion becomes your bride ... in death self is all pleasing
