The Soul

The Soul

 

The soul is the power house of our very being

it is the essential kernel of our true identity

It is who we are and who we could be

a unique creation placed in us to bear

 

It is invisible and often incomprehensible

from it emanates our character and personality

It is a permanent feature, a transplant

of an origin mysterious and unseen

 

The soul guides, directs and reproves our will

it links us with the divine which dwells within us

An indestructible part of who we are

designed for here and now and into eternity

 

It receives inspiration and is a source of creativity

the store house of our conscience and belief

The reality of the soul assists our humanity

eventually leaving all behind for a certainty

I particularly liked the ambiguity of the last line, Keith. A deep poem which challenged my thoughts.
Thanks. John.
