I started on a quest for it
and searched for it inside.
I could not catch a glimpse of it
nor touch it with my hand,
that baffled my mere mortals' brain
that could not understand
this segment of my being
that could not be denied,
yet dwelled in part,
somewhere in heart...
where God and love reside.
Soon this illusive Spirit
with its' penetrating force
grasped me in unyielding hand
to sternly chart the course
of my existance,
compelled me stand aside...
to view the panarama
staged by this subtle guide
who dwells in tattered pantheon,
its' puppet in control
who dances to the siren song
so softly sung by Soul...
Imortal Soul - without YOU...
There'd be no songs to sing,
no art, not love, no poetry nor wisdom -
ANYTHING!
If I could gain the riches
of all this earth to hold,
this wealth would be mere trinkets
in the treasure chest of Soul.
For love is far more precious
than diamonds, pearls, and gold.
And LOVE is the purest essence
of the thing that man calls Soul!
