Just a Soul

You know it feels funny coming out of a box Shackled by chains behind a thousand locks To a wide open world that seems like a dream Not one solitary part of my life is now obscene I have friends I talk to that live all over the world Across thousands of miles our souls have been twirled They have twirled together in a wonderful dance Which binds the heart in a deep, spiritual romance Each of us live together yet we live so far apart You can’t measure distance, speaking of the heart An inch is a light-year somewhere out in space I reckon someday we will all find our place You know heaven is what I pray that place will be It’s very hard to imagine all the people we will see A place where all things will be put forever a side You can just sign me up boys I’ll go for the ride Death is just freedom from all that we know I wonder what it will be like, just being a soul -------------------------------------------------- I just want to say it saddens my heart to go from one of our top community builders for over two years to barely being able to sit long enough to post a single poem and make very few comments. I have actually reached the point where I'm starting to feel like Job who faced one test after another. This poem is how I feel about us, we are more than friends we are a poetic family and one day our souls will be set free. Always remember every trial is but a doorway to a blessing. One day our souls will meet and I will be proud of the friends I have chosen. God Bless you all, mj
