The Soul
The body does not hold the soul;
The soul holds the body.
It is not within, but without.
It is present, past, and future.
It is always.
It has no need of space or time.
It is Spirit.
The body decays,
But the soul displays
The meaning of life.
And its echo resounds in a risen people.
Hear this, and pass it on.

Very nice, Kaye. Those first four lines are especially profound in that general notions about the soul lead one to believe that it’s confined within the body. Thanks for pointing out the truth of the matter so eloquently.
