I Know That I Am This Soul

I know that I am (This soul) By Michelle Morris 21/10/2023 I look at this image The mirror reflects her to me I see inside the beauty The soul I'd like to be As this shell becomes weathered Like a lighthouse in the storms I remember that I braved every one My Light in ocean's forever crowned For I rose each time, each time Whether near death or gasping I swam and swam and paid my dues To Heaven's Angels and Hell's Demons And as I reflect upon this path This winding trek to mountain tops I know the temples that there adorned Stand waiting for my wisdom For I am the Master now I who knows both up and down Heaven and Hell and Purgatory's grounds Stillness and echoes, loudness and gongs Whether Cherubs or Hell Hounds or Nothingness I know that I am I know that I am I know that I am This soul is ready This soul is true This soul is wise This soul is pure This soul is Heaven This soul is Hell This soul is the Universe This soul is a bell Its sound is Light Its sound is free Its sound is transcendent Its sound is meaningful And whilst I am here In this dimension I exist in all ways In all directions The mirror's reflection changes This ageing image is mortal But I know that I am forever A powerful soul victorious © Michelle Morris, 2023
