Our Eternal Soul

 Our Eternal Soul

 

Who will know of your eternal soul

The few left behind

With only brevity of time

 

O soul of life and meaning

An existing collection of our being

Is forever on its voyage of seeking

 

Soul does wander endlessly

Cannot adhere to a place or time

A thwarting muse of yours and mine

 

Soul may not ever return

Cannot shout or cry or learn

Despite profound intensity of our yearn 

 

O dear soul, you enrage me to no end

Wishing to control your chaotic wend

Rethinking your elusive immortality

 

O dear and precious soul without a vision

Cannot embrace with philosophy or wisdom

Only faith is your keeper and thus your seeker
