My Soul

Last night I went inside my soul
To see if I knew exactly who I was
I try to live the good life by helping everyone
But I somehow knew that it was not enough

My soul had a tiny door but somehow I sneaked in
There was a ray of light ahead and I continued on 
Along a clover pathway with blossoms on its side
The light ahead grew brighter as I neared an ivy gate

But the gate was locked with tiny strands of gold
As I tried to open it I heard a soothing voice
That said, 

"It’s not your time yet so please do not return
You still have years to live so use the time to
clean your soul"

One lifetime probably not enough, for me anyway. Great, thought provoking read. Thank you Carlos.
