Mind, Heart, and Soul

My words flow through me
I should say straight from my heart
but they do not originate there
that is were they are refined
were my emotions
pay their toll
I could say straight from my mind
but they do not originate there
that is were they are cut and broken
until all is laid bare
where my intelligence
pays its toll
they come from somplace deeper
these words of mine
a place were they are
not even mine
A place even deeper 
beyond my comprension
A place that has no name
which is beyond
the simple sounds
that is our language
to the origin of thought
A place we all have
that which we call,
The Soul.
