Is your soul waking?

Is your soul waking? (A lone voice whispers) Every day, do people look for a life-changing truth but has it become commercial A new rehearsal by an old hidden hand For that truth, The real truth Is it hidden throughout the land And is the soul indentured at birth to conform to its new norm To never see it But is the human experience Stripped down to its essential form Does it have its own unique voice Light and sound A soul Not indentured to wander around self-blinded If it pauses in a commercialised world to look around Not indentured to not learning to read or speak its own inner language For a lifetime of reading thousands of books Will not give us the truth Some are looking for in a quest of soul reshaping We can only be guided by living life through better eyes Before we all die And is that why you're here Because you love writing or reading poetry Because it's your soul speaking and expressing its true inner language As it overcomes indentured barriers of fears For some say the greater part of the soul lies outside Not inside the body In a simple truth called soul waking Experiencing all we meet Before our time as human beings is retaken (C) Copyright John Duffy
