Lost Souls and Fragrances

Lost Souls and Fragrances A saffron fragrance mixed with aromas from desert shores Salt and seaweed lifts the distances of spirits drifting on tomorrow Archeologists are touched and drawn To the other side with all their senses They search with empty bodies even now Spirits lead the way Reach through centuries, which took those souls so long ago Through distances on countless years to Istanbul for study To copy, to replicate the human souls, of the lost and found Archeologists have no clues They dig through so much memory, buried But when they open up the very last tomb The smell, the aroma, the human and the spirit Open on the ancient to the here and now Scent and soul comes through, holds on Lingers with the find until tomorrow 10/11/14 The Scent of Your Soul - Poetry Contest
