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
