Memory

MEMORY

the soul understands time
	and moves through it 
	like wind through the trees
the soul respects the future
	while it honours the past
	but lives in the present
the soul knows dreams
	and speaks about them often;
	dreams are light bridges
	that allow the soul to wander
	and the mind to wonder
the soul dances around eternity
	like a butterfly in the breeze
a soul has no desires or needs
	it is strong and weak,
	it is soft yet unbreakable
	so bright it is invisible
	but not untouchable
this soul remembers sunsets
	and togetherness
	because memory is soul-speak
my soul remembers the look
	in her eyes and the touch
	of her hand…
my soul remembers love,
my soul remembers you.

Beautiful Soul! Beautiful mind! Well written. Although frail like a butterfly, a powerful suggestion of things eternal and true. I love it, Phil.
