The Immortal Soul

We look around and see How beautiful things are – The color of the leaves; The sparkling distant stars But inside also beauty lies Behind the nearest pair of eyes; Within the hearts of those who care, And in the frequent passerby It is in lives we never knew, And friends we could not have; In memories kept close to us, The joyful and the sad And though our lives will one day fade – Our bodies turn to dust, The traces of a beauty shared Endure in everlasting trust Etched clear in stone they will remain On temples hidden deep inside, Unseen by most, yet visible – A spirit which can never die.
