Love transcends death, and lovers proceed united and bound through all the worlds of God. So it is I believe.
Thank you for reading I have, my love, but one wish. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed it and I humbly appreciate your visiting the Book of Pain. As always, I look forward to your comments.

Oh John. Such a beautiful thought.
Thank you, dear! I miss hearing from you! 🙂
Lovely ❤️🙏🏽 well done!
Thank you! I was hoping to achieve more in brevity than I could say in length. 🙂
Wonderful! I had some thoughts to this extent quite recently. I thought about a mama bear that defies the peril of death to protect the cubs. That is love that transcends death. We should learn more from animals. We lost touch with ourselves. Love, something that is stronger than death, has become as superficial as a hook-up fueled by vanity. Only perfect love transcends death. Only lovers in quest of perfect love know what true love is.
Thank you! I completely agree with you!
