SOUL RETREIVAL





Did you ever leave behind a thing in torment that wants to follow

You?  Was it the thing that you thought you were and had to escape

It by moving to a foreign country hoping for a transformation?



Your interminable language about your self was based on a feeling of

Some kind of incompletion and that if something was added to replace

What was missing, the missing part would no long haunt you.



But always the thing you are running from cuts and rankles you to

The bone; it is always the thing that is still pleading like a rebuked

Ghost that visits you at night when trying to cover yourself in the dark.



Soul retrieval is the work we all have to do when looking into the mirror;

Into the infinite recesses of unloved parts lacking attention. The toilet

Assumption that what is non wanted or uncomely must be flushed fails us.



Those old ghost, however brief their existence, lie deep inside us appearing

To be far away; this is why we want to travel far and further away from them.

In our journeying we see kindred spaces of that buried and forgotten sensing.



And when you went into the mirror as you stood outside gazing, the thing

You lost so far away within seemed irretrievable because of the standing

Apart.  Welcome it into your bosom as a friend returning from afar.
