I Am Until I Am Not

My soul is more than I believe it is and greater than I can imagine It is until it is not My soul is beyond my understanding it is beyond my comprehension My soul lays quiet in its being as it touches the woven threads of life as it creates its likeness My soul is light, My soul is darkness and the distance between can never be measured It knows the secrets of eternity as it is tethered to the ethereal heartbeat that beats in all things My soul is beyond my human mind it never thinks rather it absorbs and in this absorption becomes a universe unto itself My soul is like the soft breath of a butterfly it is the eternal wellspring which hides beneath the desert when found can nourish my thirst My soul spans the whole of time yet is smaller than a grain of sand My soul is yesterday, it is tomorrow My soul is not mine to keep rather take care of and borrow 11/17/21 Soul Poetry Contest sponsor Robert James Liquori
