Silent Whispers - Revisited

Im a perfectionist. I appreciate beauty and goodness  in all forms. I try to make my life and others less miserable, more comfortable and bearable. As much as my efforts can make this world a worth living place, I would keep on striving for that. But lately I have been thinking  a lot about eternity. A temporary stay in this world would then lead to eternity. The ratio of existence of my soul in the next world is far greater than this shorter stay.

It was stranger than strange , as I years ago stopped even thinking about you How could then, it be, after ages, I heard your voice, sense your breath,  and felt the warmth of your hands on mine. How could it be?
